Analysis
According to the pair, the bank chose MongoDB Atlas as the underlying platform for its tech stack because of the high levels of security and reliability, its ability to manage the bank’s real-time operational data on a unified platform, and because of an “intuitive developer experience”. Prior to partnering with MongoDB, the bank, which has five million customers, ran the system on a legacy relational database. Because of these database-related challenges, the bank’s analysts and developers were committing significant effort to complex database management tasks in order to keep the application running. Simon Eid, senior vice president, APAC at MongoDB, also commented: “It’s important that MongoDB empowers its customers to modernise with applications that are not just future ready, but future-defining. This is paramount for financial institutions, who need to transform quickly and take advantage of advancements like generative AI to best serve their customers.
