How Customers Improved Performance with OVHcloud’s Managed MongoDB Service

OVHcloud recently extended the Managed MongoDB service to customers in the United States. Managed MongoDB provides a hassle-free experience by handling several critical aspects of database management, including setup, maintenance, backups, security, and monitoring. Development teams can focus on building applications instead of managing databases. Customers will be able to start using the Managed MongoDB Discovery plan at no cost.

It seamlessly integrates with other OVHcloud Public Cloud and Private Cloud services, enabling businesses to easily connect their databases with additional OVHcloud offerings to create a comprehensive cloud infrastructure. Whether analyzing data using analytics tools or deploying applications across cloud environments, this approach helps ensure smooth operations and enhanced performance.

To gain a better understanding of how Managed MongoDB improves business operations, we spoke with three OVHcloud customers who are based in Europe.

Scaling with Confidence 

Lota.cloud, a FinOps company founded in 2017, experienced substantial growth alongside increasing data needs. By migrating to OVHcloud’s Managed MongoDB services, the startup found a flexible solution that allowed for efficient scaling, leading to noticeable improvements in performance and customer satisfaction. 

“By relying on a managed MongoDB service like the one offered by OVHcloud, we have the peace of mind that enables us to focus on scaling up and bringing more new customers to our platform,” said Romain Karmann, co-founder, and Lead Developer at Lota.cloud. “For large-scale customers who have a lot of data and use high volumes of resources, the ability to isolate them is of interest. We can have a separate database for each customer because, with a managed service, we can launch a new MongoDB database in just a few minutes.”

Streamlining Operations 

Combigo combines different travel options to provide customers with the best itineraries to suit their needs. The company aggregates information on routes and prices for airlines, trains, and buses, updating data 30 to 40 times per second. By shifting from an outdated database infrastructure to OVHcloud’s Managed MongoDB services, Combigo was able to streamline its processes and achieve the reliability it needed. Executives reported significant improvements in speed and cost savings, enhancing their service offerings.

“Data is absolutely critical to our business because, without it, we can no longer deliver our service to customers,” said Vincent El Khatib, Co-founder & CTO at combigo.com. “The Automatic Backup option—delivered by OVHcloud in its Public Cloud Databases For MongoDB solution—gives us confidence and saves us valuable time, as we do not need to configure backups manually.”

Tailored for Unique Needs 

moinAI is a self-learning AI chatbot solution for customer communication in marketing, sales, and customer service. The company required a database solution that could adapt to their specific use case. Using MongoDB on OVHcloud has enhanced moinAI’s operations. OVHcloud handles setup, maintenance, security, backup, and scalability of the database engine. Individual-specific services are stored in OVHcloud’s Object Storage, from which the chat data can be easily accessed at any time.

moinAI also uses the entire AI landscape within OVHcloud to provide services that include AI notebooks, AI Training, and AI Deploy for deploying algorithms in chatbot-specific use cases. “We use a great deal of OVHcloud AI services,” said Florian Nommensen, Managing Director and CTO of moinAI. “With AI Training, we can teach our own language models most cost-effectively.”

Conclusion

With successful implementations in Europe and a strong lineup of established database solutions, OVHcloud is well-positioned to empower organizations undergoing digital transformation. Managed MongoDB on OVHcloud in the US is a game-changer for companies looking to enhance their database capabilities.

Discovery and Production Plans

In addition to competitive pricing models and pay-as-you-go options, OVHcloud offers a Free Discovery Tier plan that allows users to explore Managed MongoDB at no cost. This plan includes a 3-node replica set with 512 MB of storage and shared CPU and RAM, making it an ideal solution for testing MongoDB capabilities in the cloud. For businesses ready for production, the Production Plan provides scalable options with 3 nodes in a replica set ranging from 2 GB to 60 GB RAM and 10 GB to 4 TB storage. This plan features automatic backup and private network access, helping ensure reliable performance.
