MongoDB

A flexible document database we use when a project's data doesn't map cleanly to rigid relational tables.

Discuss your project

MongoDB's document model lets schemas evolve naturally as a product grows, which is useful for content-heavy or rapidly changing data shapes — user-generated content, catalogs with variable attributes, or event logs.

We use it selectively, where the flexibility is a genuine advantage, rather than as a default — most of our projects still lean on relational databases for stronger consistency guarantees.

Where we use it

How we use MongoDB

Flexible content models

Data with varying shapes per record, like product catalogs with attribute sets that differ by category.

Event & activity logs

High-write-volume logs where schema rigidity isn't needed.

Rapid schema iteration

Early-stage products whose data model is still actively changing.
