[← All articles](/blog/) Article # A Prominent Government Entity Selects MOLO17’s Gluesync to Modernize Their Database Infrastructure 28 Jan 2025 [Gluesync](/blog/?category=gluesync) 2 min read A Mexican government entity modernized its database with MOLO17 Gluesync, enabling real-time synchronization, scalability, and improved citizen services  A **leading government entity in Mexico**, renowned for delivering essential services in sectors such as education, health, culture, and sports, recently embarked on a transformative journey to modernize their database infrastructure. Facing the challenge of managing growing volumes of data across disparate systems, they sought a solution to unify their data, improve operational efficiency and enhance the citizen experience through real-time data synchronization with Gluesync. ## Modernizing legacy systems: real-time synchronization with MOLO17 Gluesync This government institution faced a significant challenge: their existing infrastructure relied on **Microsoft SQL Server** and **MongoDB**, but these systems were no longer sufficient to support their evolving needs. The organization needed to consolidate data into a single, scalable platform, like Couchbase, enabling real-time synchronization across various departments and ensuring faster, more reliable access to information for millions of citizens. After rigorous testing and benchmarks, **MOLO17’s Gluesync** was selected for its ability to provide **bi-directional synchronization** between Couchbase and relational databases like MS SQL Server and to integrate with **MongoDB 5.X**, ensuring a smooth migration process. All while handling complex data structures and high volumes and still maintaining performance superiority. As a result, the deployment of Gluesync enabled the government to modernize their database infrastructure without disruption, allowing them to focus on their mission to enhance public services for millions of citizens. _“Gluesync provides essential data replication capabilities to Couchbase customers for migrating workloads from legacy relational databases to Couchbase with real-time speed, scalability and flexibility."_ **Matt McDonough SVP Business Development & Strategy, Couchbase** ### Transformative results With Gluesync in production, this government entity has achieved a remarkable transformation in their operations, including: - **Enhanced Citizen Services**: Real-time bi-directional synchronization enables faster, more accurate data flows for citizen-facing applications and back-office portals, streamlining public service delivery. - **Scalability**: The ability to manage and grow **Couchbase data pipelines** effortlessly, supporting the organization’s ambitions for wider service adoption. - **Operational Efficiency**: A **low server-side resource footprint** combined with ultra-low latencies has drastically improved system performance while reducing overhead. By integrating Gluesync into their operations, this government entity has taken a significant step toward achieving their vision of **modern, citizen-focused services**. With Couchbase as the backbone of their infrastructure and Gluesync enabling seamless data replication, they are well-positioned to deliver innovative and efficient solutions to their community. **About Gluesync** Gluesync is a real-time data replication suite that empowers user with ability to create real-time data pipelines connecting heterogeneous databases bi-directionally, ensuring transactions consistency and low latencies while on-the-fly transforming data for complex data modeling scenarios. **About MOLO17** MOLO17 is the software company behind Gluesync, laser-focused on real-time technologies such NoSQL databases and event streaming.
