From Local to Global: Scalable Edge Apps with RxDB + MongoDB
Modern organizations operate in increasingly complex environments. Teams are often distributed across cities, countries, or even continents, and many work in situations where connectivity is intermittent or completely unavailable. Construction crews in remote locations, healthcare workers in rural clinics, field engineers on offshore sites, and logistics operators managing warehouses all rely on digital tools to capture, share, and analyze data. Any interruption in access or performance can create inefficiencies, data inconsistencies, and even operational risks.

Personalized Retail Media Platforms—Powered by MongoDB
Retailers today have access to a wealth of data that is an invaluable, unique asset that only they possess—such as first-party and customer interaction data. With the rapid evolution of digital commerce and the depreciation of third-party cookies, retail media networks (RMNs) have emerged as a critical channel for monetization and customer engagement. Through the strategic use of shopper data (which spans both digital and physical retail channels), retailers are empowered to provide brands with a unique opportunity to engage in direct advertising with in-market consumers, achieving an unprecedented level of precision and conversion.

Analyze Query Shapes With MongoDB and Datadog
In July 2025, MongoDB introduced Query Shape Insights for MongoDB Atlas. This feature provides customers with powerful tools to understand query performance trends at a granular level. Almost immediately upon launch, enterprise customers asked an important question: “Can we view these insights directly in Datadog, where we already monitor our applications?”
Innovating with MongoDB | Customer Successes, October 2025
It’s officially fall! The start of every new season is a perfect time to consider change and new beginnings. While fall might make you think about pumpkin spice and newly chilly evenings, I’m thinking about the latest round of transformations that MongoDB’s customers are embracing to thrive in an AI-powered world. In all seriousness, legacy systems and technical debt are huge challenges: the cost of tech debt has been estimated at almost $4 trillion dollars. That’s trillion with a T! Legacy systems can slow down innovation, create bottlenecks, and make it tough to deliver the seamless, real-time experiences customers increasingly expect. But companies are finding that modernizing their applications isn't just about fixing what's broken—modernization enables them to move faster and innovate for end-users. That’s why I'm incredibly excited to share the recent launch of MongoDB’s Application Modernization Platform (AMP). This AI-powered program is designed to help enterprises move beyond outdated infrastructures to embrace a flexible, data-driven future. AMP is a comprehensive approach to modernization that combines smart AI tooling with proven methodologies, enabling businesses to transform their applications from the ground up, moving from legacy monoliths to a more flexible, microservices-based architecture. In this roundup, we're spotlighting customers who understand the strategic importance of modernization. You'll see how Wells Fargo is using MongoDB to power a new credit card platform, how CSX is ensuring business continuity during a critical migration, how Intellect Design is modernizing its wealth management platform, and how Deutsche Telekom is transforming its B2C digital channels. With MongoDB, customers are showing how integral a modern database is to powering the next generation of applications—and succeeding in the AI era. Wells Fargo Wells Fargo sought to modernize its mainframe-dependent credit card platform to provide a faster, more seamless customer experience and handle an exponential increase in transaction data. The company's legacy system was costly to manage and lacked the scalability needed for its "Cards 2.0" initiative. To solve this, Wells Fargo built an operational data store (ODS) using MongoDB. This new platform allowed them to adopt reusable APIs, streamline integrations, and move from a monolithic architecture to flexible microservices. The ODS now serves 40% of traffic from external vendors, handling more than 7 million transactions with sub-second service. By leveraging MongoDB, Wells Fargo was able to jumpstart its mainframe modernization and create curated data products to serve real-time, personalized financial services. CSX CSX , a major U.S. railroad company, sought to modernize its critical operations platform, RTOP, by migrating it to the cloud. The challenge was to maintain the platform's 24/7 availability with minimal disruption to its mission-critical, near real-time operations during the transition. To solve this, CSX selected MongoDB Atlas on Azure and partnered with MongoDB Professional Services . Leveraging the Cluster-to-Cluster Sync (mongosync) feature, the team was able to facilitate continuous data synchronization and complete the entire migration in just a few hours. The move to MongoDB Atlas has equipped CSX with a more scalable and resilient platform. This modernization effort established a blueprint for migrating other critical applications and helped CSX continue its digital transformation journey toward becoming America’s best-run railroad. Intellect Design Intellect Design , a global fintech company, sought to modernize its wealth management platform to overcome legacy system bottlenecks and multihour batch processing delays. The company's rigid relational database architecture limited its ability to scale and innovate. To solve this, the company partnered with MongoDB, using our AMP methodology and generative AI tools. This transformation reengineered the platform's core components, resulting in an 85% reduction in onboarding workflow times, allowing clients to access critical portfolio insights faster than ever. This initiative is the first step in Intellect Design's long-term vision to integrate its entire application suite into a unified, AI-driven service. By leveraging MongoDB Atlas's flexible schema and powerful native tools, the company is now better positioned to deliver smarter analytics and advanced AI capabilities to its customers. Watch Intellect AI’s MongoDB.local Bengaluru keynote presentation to learn how AMP helped them transform outdated systems into scalable, modern solutions. Deutsche Telekom Deutsche Telekom , a leading telecommunications company, sought to modernize its B2C digital channels, which were fragmented by outdated legacy systems. The company needed to create a unified digital experience for its 30 million customers while improving developer productivity. By leveraging MongoDB Atlas as part of its Internal Developer Platform, Deutsche Telekom built a robust data infrastructure to unify customer data and power its new digital services. This approach allowed the company to retire legacy systems and reduce its reliance on physical shops and call centers. The transition to MongoDB Atlas led to a massive surge in digital engagement, with daily customer interactions rising from under 50,000 to approximately 1.5 million. The company's customer data platform now handles up to 15 times the load of legacy systems, supporting large-scale loyalty programs and transforming the customer experience. Video spotlight: Bendigo Bank Before you go, watch how Bendigo and Adelaide Bank modernized their core banking technology using MongoDB Atlas and generative AI. Bendigo and Adelaide Bank reduced the migration time for legacy applications from 80 hours to just five minutes. This innovative approach allowed them to quickly modernize their systems and better serve their 2.5 million customers.
