Summary

fuboTV, a leading soccer streaming service, has successfully migrated its MongoDB database to Docker containers managed by the Kubernetes orchestration system on Google Cloud Platform. This migration has enabled the company to scale its business and meet its rapidly expanding customer base with improved development agility and speed of deployment. By using MongoDB, Docker, and Kubernetes, fuboTV can now provision all of its environments - development, test, QA, and production - to a single cluster of physical hosts, maximizing utilization and reducing costs. The company has also achieved significant performance improvements, including 20x storage reduction for one specific collection, thanks to MongoDB's WiredTiger storage engine. With Kubernetes, fuboTV can now launch new services, collect feedback from users, fix problems, and iterate on features more quickly, enabling the company to stay competitive in the market.
