Summary

Zomato, one of India's largest consumer technology companies, is a restaurant aggregator and food delivery operator with over 17.5 million customers, 220,000 restaurant partners, and 350,000 delivery partners. With huge data volumes, Zomato migrated to MongoDB Atlas in 2017 to manage its self-hosted clusters and has since leveraged features like index suggestions, geospatial queries, and analytics nodes to power various operational systems, including Order Tracking, Order Assignment, and Delivery Partner Onboarding. These systems rely on MongoDB's document-oriented database for strong consistency under heavy read and write workloads, particularly in handling high-volume data from thousands of delivery partners. By integrating with MongoDB Atlas, Zomato has improved its ability to handle massive amounts of requests per minute without latency or issues, making it an ideal choice for the company's operations.
