Your Next Video Game Database For Modern Gaming | MongoDB

Whether you’re a solo developer or a large game publisher, MongoDB gives you the best way to work with data.
Video games are becoming more personalized thanks to data-driven gameplay and player customization. In order to satisfy the demands of today’s gamers, developers need a database that enables them to deliver new features and content at speed.
Video games are a global experience. That means developers need to place data wherever the game is happening. MongoDB Atlas—the most widely available modern, multi-cloud data platform—is available in 125+ regions across all major cloud providers.
Game traffic can grow far beyond what you’ve planned for. Don’t let scaling a database hold you back. MongoDB Atlas lets you go from a single-server deployment to a 1,000-node cluster seamlessly, delivering millions of operations per second.
MongoDB’s flexible schema means that you can change your data layer just as quickly as you change your game. Need to add new items with new kinds of stats? No problem.
MongoDB Atlas is a fully managed cloud database available in more than 125+ regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, with a 99.995% availability SLA.
You don't need a separate database to support transactions, rich search, or gen AI. The world's most popular document database is now the world's most versatile modern, multi-cloud database platform.
The gaming industry, with its vast player base of 3.4 billion individuals, is undergoing a transformative shift toward data-driven personalization to combat the challenges of intense competition and revenue fluctuations.
MongoDB’s flexible document data model allows you to quickly iterate on what constitutes a player in your world. Add and associate new features to player profile objects such as achievements, progression-based unlocks, in-game currency, new classes of gear, and more. Keep your players protected with enterprise-grade security controls at the data layer.
Whether you’re matching two players in a 1v1 or 100 in a battle royale, MongoDB’s elastic scalability means you can do so quickly and reliably. The database’s built-in aggregation pipeline allows you to perform real-time analytics on player metrics to help ensure that you’re putting the right people together in a session.
To check whether a player is allowed to take an action, you need low-latency reads at scale. Delays in loading levels or opening menus make players unhappy. When dealing with inventory, you need fast reads and writes with transactional integrity–especially if players have paid real money for their items.
MongoDB captures game events in real time and scales to meet high-write workloads. It enables you to run real-time analytics to optimize player experiences on the fly with its built-in aggregation framework. Move data to analytics engines such as Spark for large-scale data processing to figure out the next move. For long-term analysis, shift telemetry data to Atlas Data Lake to save on compute but retain the ability to run analysis on demand. The MongoDB cloud platform also makes it easy to visualize data and share insights, with native visualization for polymorphic data and connectors to SQL-based BI tools.
MongoDB Atlas supports messaging and real-time interactions, including cross-game communications. It allows you to integrate user-generated content into your games, update live leaderboards with views and the aggregation framework, and build companion apps and websites to extend the experience of the game.
