Relational databases can’t easily handle the types of data you need to use to build good mobile apps.</td> <td><span style="font-weight: bold">Killer Apps.</span> MongoDB's flexible data model and rich query functionality let your teams build killer apps. MongoDB can manage any kind of data, no matter how often it changes. Any feature. Any data. Any device.</td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="font-weight: bold">Fail at Scale.</span> Mobile apps can spread like wildfire. Response times have to keep up. Your teams can spend endless cycles and millions of dollars trying to scale, but relational databases weren’t built for this.</td> <td><span style="font-weight: bold">Millions of Users.</span> MongoDB was built to scale horizontally, in your data center or in the cloud. Serve millions of users and petabytes of data without complex hardware or extra software. This shouldn’t be hard, and with MongoDB, it isn’t.</td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="font-weight: bold">Stagnant.</span> Relational schemas slow teams down. They make it hard to test ideas. They make it hard to pivot. They’re not helping you be like a startup – they’re making it hard for you to respond to users and competitors.</td> <td><span style="font-weight: bold">Faster.</span> Your teams move faster with MongoDB because its dynamic schemas let them iterate.

Iterating, scaling, and shipping killer apps is hard.</p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight:bold">New Data.</span> Unstructured, semi-structured, and polymorphic data doesn’t belong in relational rows and columns. Key-value stores may be able to handle that data, but lack the functionality – like expressive query operators, atomic updates, secondary and geospatial indexes, and aggregation – to get, set and analyze it.</li> <li><span style="font-weight:bold">Rigid Schemas.</span> You should be able to support new devices, build new features and track new attributes easily. Your teams should be able to work in sprints. But relational schemas are hard to change incrementally, especially without impacting performance or taking the database offline.</li> <li><span style="font-weight:bold">Scaling Problems.</span> Relational databases were designed for single-server configurations, not for horizontal scale-out. They were meant to serve hundreds of ops per second, not hundreds of thousands of ops per second. Even with a lot of engineering hours, custom sharding layers and caches, scaling an RDBMS is hard at best and impossible at worst.</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <h2>How MongoDB Makes it Easy</h2> <p>People love using MongoDB to build killer mobile apps that scale. </p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight:bold;">Documents and the Features to Match.</span> MongoDB’s JSON document model makes it easy to store any type of data for any type of device. You can represent complex, hierarchical data structures. Combined with an expressive query language, atomic updates, secondary and geospatial indexes, and aggregation framework, MongoDB lets you build killer mobile apps easily.</li> <li><span style="font-weight:bold;">Dynamic Schemas.</span> Schemas in MongoDB are self-describing. Pull in new user data, support new devices or sensors, and build new features without schema redesigns and migrations. Your teams can work in sprints, iterating on the schema early and often.</li> <li><span style="font-weight:bold">Horizontal Scalability.</span> In MongoDB, scaling out is native to the database using a technique called <i>sharding</i>. With multiple options for scaling – including range-based, hash-based and location-aware sharding – MongoDB can support thousands of nodes, petabytes of data and hundreds of thousands of ops per second, without requiring you to build custom partitioning and caching layers.</li> </ul> <div class="e-img-grid-full"> <h2>Featured Resources</h2> <div class="grid"> <div class="image"> <a href="/web/20150202022839/http://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/how-stay-relevant-listening-your-users-lesson-adp"><img src="/web/20150202022839im_/http://www.mongodb.com/sites/mongodb.com/files/media/adp-220x140.jpg"/> <h3>ADP</h3></a> <p class="e-caption">HR on a smartphone for 41K clients and 1M end-users</p> </div> <div class="image"> <a href="/web/20150202022839/http://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/what-do-i-use-270000-apps"><img src="/web/20150202022839im_/http://www.mongodb.com/sites/mongodb.com/files/media/parse-220x140.jpg"/> <h3>Parse/Facebook</h3></a> <p class="e-caption">Mobile backend-as-a-service for 270,000 apps</p> </div> <div class="image"> <a href="/web/20150202022839/http://www.mongodb.com/customers/foursquare"><img src="/web/20150202022839im_/http://www.mongodb.com/sites/mongodb.com/files/media/foursquare-220x140.jpg"/> <h3>Foursquare</h3></a> <p class="e-caption">Social, local search and discovery app for 30M users</p> </div> <div class="image"> <a href="/web/20150202022839/http://www.mongodb.com/press/o2-builds-exclusive-location-based-offer-service-priority-moments-10gen%E2%80%99s-mongodb"><img src="/web/20150202022839im_/http://www.mongodb.com/sites/mongodb.com/files/media/o2-220x140.jpg"/> <h3>O2</h3></a> <p class="e-caption">Location-based offers in real time for millions of subscribers</p> </div> </div> </div> <p></div></p> <h3>How Do I Start?</h3> <p>For more information, download the <a href="/web/20150202022839/http://www.mongodb.com/lp/enterprise-features-pricing">MongoDB Enterprise Advanced Datasheet</a> or <a href="/web/20150202022839/http://www.mongodb.com/contact">contact us</a>.<br> Or <a href="/web/20150202022839/http://www.mongodb.com/subscription/downloads/landing">download</a> an evaluation version of MongoDB Enterprise now.</p> <div class="inline-block-center" style="margin-top: 90px"> <div class="empty" style="margin-right: -4px"></div> <div class="full"> <a href="/web/20150202022839/http://www.mongodb.com/lp/white-paper/big-data-nosql"> <figure class="icn icn-whitepaper"></figure> <p class="cta-title">Read a White Paper</p> </a> <p class="cta-body">Discover how organizations like yours are leveraging big data.</p> </div> <div class="empty" style="margin-left: -4px"></div> <div class="empty" style="margin-left: -4px;
