Hello,
I would like to build a react native dating app using mongodb as the operational database.
However, I was checking this list that includes customer success stories: Customer Case Studies
And found out that none is a dating app.
Does this mean that mongodb is not recommended for a dating app?
Or maybe the newer versions of mongodb became valid choices while the previous ones were not?
If someone who had previous experience can give some guidance, that would be great.
Or if anyone who actually works at mongodb knows of some successful case studies even if they are not inlcuded in the link above and would share some insights, that would also be great,
Thank you.

Hello @HMazen,
MongoDB is indeed a valid and widely used operational database for various types of applications. The fact that you didn’t find a specific case study for a dating app in the MongoDB success stories doesn’t mean that MongoDB isn’t enough for this kind of application. In reality, MongoDB is used by many companies across different industries.
Why you should use mongoDB?
1. Flexibility with Data Models
MongoDB uses a document-oriented data model, which means you can store data in JSON-like documents.
2. Scalability and Performance
MongoDB’s architecture supports horizontal scaling, meaning you can easily distribute your data across multiple servers (and Atlas do it very well to you).
3. Geospatial Features
MongoDB has built-in support for geospatial queries, which are crucial for location-based features.
I believe that these 3 pros elements to choose MongoDB in your case.

Hi @Jennysson_Junior .
Thanks for answering my question. I appreciate it.
MongoDB is a suitable choice for a dating app due to its flexibility, scalability, and performance. It can handle complex data structures, high user loads, and real-time updates. Key considerations for a successful implementation include designing an efficient data model, creating appropriate indexes, implementing caching strategies, prioritizing security, and planning for scalability. While specific dating app case studies might not be readily available, MongoDB’s versatility and strong community support make it a reliable option for building such applications.
