The Samsung SmartHome Team successfully implemented a work-life balance solution for their engineers by migrating from the community version of MongoDB to MongoDB Atlas, which provided an efficient and reliable infrastructure for managing their data workloads. This migration allowed the team to reduce downtime, improve availability, and increase productivity, enabling them to focus on developing new services for customers while maintaining a healthy balance between development and business logic management. By utilizing MongoDB Atlas's scale-out strategy on a sharded cluster, the team was able to overcome write workload limitations and achieve significant improvements in disk IOPS and logical data size, resulting in a more efficient and reliable infrastructure that supports their growth and innovation.
