SIMPLIFIED SCALE IN THE CLOUD
Weather is hard to predict. So is the online traffic for weather apps.
With MongoDB, The Weather Channel doesn’t have to worry about app performance during unpredictable peak times.
The apps typically handle two million requests per minute, including weather data and social sign-ins. As the user
base scales, so will MongoDB. With its native scale-out capabilities, MongoDB can support thousands of nodes,
petabytes of data and hundreds of thousands of ops per second.
The Weather Channel initially planned to build its own management services for the new cloud infrastructure.
Instead, they saved significant time and money by taking advantage of MongoDB’s management application,
MongoDB Management Service (MMS). Built by the same engineers who develop MongoDB, MMS is a cloud
service that makes it easy to run MongoDB at any scale. Features like performance visualization, custom alerts
and point-in-time recovery ensure The Weather Channel can mitigate issues before they arise and optimize its
MongoDB deployment.
FAST APPS, WITHOUT THE WAIT
MongoDB met The Weather Channel brand’s needs from day one, with no significant optimization needed.
“As part of our infrastructure redesign, we needed to ensure that new app development was never waiting on the
back-end,” said Kolin.
MongoDB was made for this mission.
Today, The Weather Channel team can iterate rapidly without worrying about schema changes. They can adapt.
They can push out changes to users in a fraction of the time. And at much lower cost.
New features, new devices, new expectations. Users want awesome apps that keep getting better. And now, MongoDB
helps The Weather Channel deliver.
