MongoDB Primary Use Case
I used the solution in the production level to search data and create education-based tutorials for a project. We had 30 managers, senior architects, tech leads, and software engineers working on the project.
Currently, I use the solution for my personal work.
View full review »Our company uses the solution for small functions that contribute to some projects. The solution is part of our whole company architecture. Some projects might not touch the solution but the data is always there when needed.
View full review »We are using MongoDB as the database on our private cloud, which is AWS in Frankfurt. We monitor different banks adopting cloud in our infrastructure with confirmation and approval by the local regulator.
It's mostly all related to our digital part of the bank. We are using MongoDB for the process of onboarding new products. When we are actually calculating proposals for mortgages or complex financial products, we must consider that calculation across many sources. Some are internal. Some are external. We are using MongoDB to support the calculation, or proposal calculation, on our web digital processes.

Our main purpose is to build a historical data lake containing commercial data of service usage, products, retailers and wholesalers, AAA sessions, account recharges and transferences, et cetera. We're looking at the whole company's key internet usage data from a commercial perspective.
The data lake holds data from 5 years, so now we're triggering ML processes. The impact of the product in the community has been huge, and by that I mean, the community of developers that make apps for the telecommunications market.
In our country, we were pioneers at using MongoDB. Now, at least 7 developer teams are using it.

We are using this solution for storage and mapping. We have developed an application for mapping. We source the GeoJSON position for approximately eleven million points.
Our application is made for desktops, and we started using MongoDB for that application.
We have four teams in our laboratory and the other teams are developing their applications to be used with MongoDB.
The primary use of MongoDB is for mapping the application.

My use case for MongoDB is storing logs. Last semester, I worked on a malware and antivirus project, used the deep learning model based on the logs and data from the IDF and FreeRTOS, and stored the logs in MongoDB in a different file.
I store logs in MongoDB for later use, and then I can retrieve the logs and create a model accordingly.

I work with multiple personal applications, and for that, I use MongoDB and SQL Servers. Depending on the use cases, I choose MongoDB, as it is not a heavy application. Usually, I use MongoDB for attachment sections because RDBMS is heavy for attachment software. I also use it for assessments. Sometimes, I store data for a time-series database, such as stock market data, which I analyze using MongoDB.

We do payroll for government workers. One service we provide is called e-Payslip. You go into the portal, create an account, and download your payslip for the month. If you have to do something that requires you to submit a payslip, you can go to the portal and get your payslip electronically.
We also have what we call the ESPV. This allows unit managers to validate workers before they are paid for the month. It's an attempt to remove ghost names from the government payroll, so there's a cycle. At some point, somebody who is actually working must be validated in the system, and then the unit head confirms. This is checked by HR before salaries are paid, so you have to be a validated worker before your salary is paid.
We use it as a data warehouse, and we also use it for software development when we are not sure how much and what kind of data we would get from the customers. For a short span of time, we also use it for the data lake to dump the data of a temporary instance so that the developers on the next node can leverage this data.

Team Lead at RBS Securities
I have done a variety of things with MongoDB that started with the adoption of this solution at one company. I was involved in setting up the cluster and then the monitoring, alerting, and backup process. Once all of the set up was complete, I was involved in writing some of the components that were responsible for fetching data from MongoDB.
We are now responsible for running the platform, so whoever wants to run MongoDB comes to us and we explain how we can deploy the cluster for their applications. At this point, we build a cluster in the servers under a UNIX account. The number of nodes in the cluster depends on the requirements of the application side.
Some of the use cases we have configured MongoDB for are desk-tooling and a payment card profiling project. We are currently working on a data exchange platform. We also have a couple of use cases in the pipeline for potential MongoDB clients who also need the MongoDB Ops Manager.

If we don't have relational data we use MongoDB. It is in JSON format, and we can use JSON. Therefore, without relational data, without type coupling with columns, we can use MongoDB. We use it for queries.
The most important aspect is the clustering part. If you have read/write databases, then MongoDB will be easy to use. You can split those databases. We can save the data into JSON without relational data.
It is very fast - faster than an SQL or MySQL Server.
Therefore, if you have unstructured data, you should go with MongoDB.

We do not use MongoDB extensively. Initially, we wanted to store login information, dumping the entire message into the database. It stores transaction details about the users, but only for login purposes. Essentially, we store information about access and usage.
In the future, we will build some reports for this data.

Pranesh Vittal
Associate Director - Database & DevOps at Medlife
When the company started, MongoDB was our primary database.
It offers great flexibility where developers can define any key and assign a value to it. This means that there is very little that one has to plan in terms of designing the schema upfront, so developers enjoy a lot of flexibility. Now that we have more use cases for which NoSQL is not suitable, we are trying to move those workloads out of MongoDB.

Our primary use case of this solution is for schema lists. It's easy to populate the data and to get information for summaries and things like that. The second use case is that there is a mainframe and the upgrades on the mainframe can use your CPU time. As the customer is working on the mixed product, it becomes very costly. Using MongoDB internally allows us to divide as much as we can with it. And there is a service provision that I think is much cheaper than continuing the maintenance of the machine.
