Five signs you've outgrown MongoDB
What you'll learn
MongoDB's flexibility makes it a popular starting point, but as your applications scale, the cracks begin to show. Reconfiguration downtime, unpredictable performance under load, and runaway infrastructure costs are signs that your database may no longer be keeping pace with your business.
This eBook examines five signs that MongoDB has become a constraint, and makes the case for Aerospike as the alternative built for predictable performance from gigabytes to petabytes. You'll see benchmark data, real total cost of ownership comparisons, and stories from customers who've already made the switch.
Key highlights
Reconfiguration in MongoDB means service interruptions. Aerospike scales nodes in and out automatically, with no downtime and no manual resharding.
In a 10TB benchmark, Aerospike delivered nine times the throughput and 12 times better latency than MongoDB, on fewer than one-third the virtual machines.
Aerospike's cost advantage can reach 5.4 times over MongoDB at scale, with one AdTech customer cutting monthly charges from $30k to $5k while growing throughput by over 40%.
MongoDB's default configuration prioritizes consistency over availability, leaving partitions unresponsive during primary elections. Aerospike gives you the choice, with no single point of failure.
MongoDB performance degraded by over a third across a 10TB workload. Aerospike delivers consistent, predictable behavior as data volumes grow, without relying on data caching.
