MongoDB
MongoDB stores data the way applications actually use it — as documents — which removes a whole class of mapping friction for content platforms, catalogues and event streams. Modelled well, it scales horizontally with your product; modelled badly, it bites. We've done both the building and the rescuing.

Why we reach for it
- Document model that mirrors your application objects one-to-one
- Horizontal scaling and replica sets for growth without re-architecture
- Aggregation pipeline powerful enough to replace most reporting jobs
- Flexible schemas where the domain genuinely changes fast
