Automation of MongoDB Atlas Resources

As a one-of-a-kind platform utilized to create custom interactive maps across different business domains, ranging from real estate to the construction industry, our client offers a unique platform for building maps with ease and without coding. Founded in 2015, the organization acquired hands-on experience across various industries and worked with clients from all over the world. In light of this tendency, the client requested our team to help with automating the deployment and management of the MongoDB Atlas resources. Our fruitful cooperation resulted in a cost-efficient and high-performing solution that will benefit the organization from a long-term perspective.

Our client definitely knows how to bring user experience with maps to an entirely new level. From sharing stories and generating transactions to creating interactive maps across various industries — the organization handles multiple functions under one roof to help users accomplish the desired look and feel, for any map. As a next-gen map builder, the platform allows for creating maps of any type and complexity, making it a perfect solution for both novice and experienced users. With a wide array of available templates, styles, layouts, and colors, users can create custom no-coding maps in a blink of an eye.

The client experienced an urgent need to automate the deployment and management of the MongoDB Atlas resources to achieve a better price-performance ratio. At the same time, the organization came up with the following objectives.

First, it was necessary to automate the provisioning and management of MongoDB Atlas resources. Second, Matoffo, a reliable cloud development partner, was requested to ensure consistency and repeatability in the infrastructure deployment process. Third, we had to enable version control and collaboration for infrastructure changes. Fourth, the client needed to implement a secure and auditable infrastructure setup. Last but not least, our team was entrusted with setting up a secure private connection between the application and the database.

First and foremost, our team created a Terraform code with the required resources. Hence, we included them in the automated deployment pipeline.

Overall, the solution was split into several crucial stages, including the provisioning of private network configuration between MongoDB Atlas and the client’s AWS environment. The configuration itself consisted of several activities, such as database network setup, peering connections, and firewall configuration. The Matoffo team implemented this solution for all environments, including testing, stage, and production.

To complete this solution, we used the following tech stack: AWS, MongoDB Atlas, Terraform, and Azure DevOps. The development team included one Senior DevOps engineer responsible for automating the deployment and management of the MongoDB Atlas resources. In general, it took us about 1 month to deliver a ready-to-use AWS solution.

There is no doubt that the concept of business value encompasses a diverse range of elements that are pivotal for the continuous growth of each organization. While it is beyond our capacity to guarantee flawless functionality for all of the client’s business assets, we unequivocally assure the impeccable quality of services provided by Matoffo. With this in mind, our skilled team delivered value in the following areas:

• Infrastructure Consistency
Thanks to Terraform, Matoffo achieved consistent and repeatable infrastructure deployments across different environments (e.g., development, staging, and production). Therefore, we managed to eliminate manual setup and potential configuration drift.

• Time & Cost Savings
With automation, the team reduced the time and effort required to provision and manage MongoDB Atlas resources. In turn, this helped to free up resources to focus on more value-added tasks, resulting in cost savings and increased productivity.

• Security & Compliance
Matoffo implemented best-in-class security practices and compliance requirements through Terraform code to ensure the infrastructure adheres to industry standards, including encryption at rest, network isolation, and access controls.

At Matoffo, we pride ourselves on delivering unparalleled expertise and exceptional tech expertise. With a highly experienced and collaborative team, the entire development process turned into an enjoyable journey. Embracing our core business values, we successfully provided the client with an outstanding MongoDB Atlas resources automation, ensuring a first-rate outcome within the designated budget and timeline.
