SilkRoute, a software-as-a-service company focused on analytics products for manufacturing and retail industries, has chosen MongoDB over SQL Server for its critical quality assurance platform. The application, which performs RFID inspections on industrial manufactured products, benefits from MongoDB's simplified schema design, increased flexibility for modeling complex relationships, easier capture of user-generated data, reduced development timeline, durability, scalability, and disaster recovery capabilities. SilkRoute is using a 5-node replica set with Cloud Manager for operational management and deployment, and plans to integrate MongoDB with other data analytics tools in the future. The company measures the impact of MongoDB on its business by factors such as ease of use, code-first approach, reduced total cost of ownership, and reduced time to market.
