Project Summary

Intellectsoft built a cached MongoDB backend to provide a high-performance backend for a family-safety mobile platform, enabling the system to handle increased traffic and user growth. The new architecture supports around 2.5 million data points per day, reduced response times, and a transparent, scalable structure. The vendor worked autonomously with the client's CTO and co-founder, using Slack and JIRA for communication, and the engagement resulted in an ongoing partnership.

Key Challenges

Platform performance degraded after a usage milestone
Needed a robust, high-performance backend to support growth
Required enterprise-grade architecture beyond the company's in-house expertise

Project Deliverables

Cached MongoDB database
Scalable backend system
Fast reaction and history-management capabilities
Reports and stats integration for autonomous management

Project Solution

Intellectsoft designed and implemented a cached MongoDB backend and overall backend system to improve scalability and performance. They worked directly with the client's CTO to define technical requirements, proposed caching and Redis as part of the architecture, and delivered a storage scope and infrastructure that supports heavy traffic and history management.

Project Outcome

Platform now handles twice as many users without performance lag
Average backend response time reduced from ~2–3 seconds to ~1 second
Transparent, scalable architecture enabling easy addition of servers
Project delivered autonomously with regular reports, enabling an ongoing partnership
