Summary

Splitit, a global payment solution provider, recently migrated its infrastructure to MongoDB Atlas due to issues with its previous database solution. Ran Landau, CTO of Splitit, was initially drawn to the cloud-provider database that mimicked MongoDB functionality but soon encountered performance and reliability issues. After experiencing problems with scripts for moving documents between collections and missing features, he realized the need for a more robust solution. He discovered MongoDB Atlas, which offered a reliable, scalable, and secure environment, including Performance Advisor, auto-scaling, and Online Archive for archiving data. These features enabled him to simplify his migration process and focus on building new features, ultimately ensuring the company's continued success as it captures the growing online shopping market.
