Use case

THE CHALLENGE

Fragmented databases blocked a single access point for citizen services.

A prominent government entity in Mexico — education, health, culture and sports — needed to modernize a fragmented database estate and unify citizen-facing services.

  • Decommission MongoDB Gradually decommission MongoDB as Couchbase becomes the operational store.
  • Unlock SQL Server data Bring data previously segregated in Microsoft SQL Server to citizens.
  • One access point A unique solution that could become the single access point for every citizen-facing service.
  • Heterogeneous stack Microsoft SQL Server 2018, MongoDB 5, and Couchbase 7 had to run together during the transition.

The solution

Couchbase plus Gluesync for a phased modernization.

The government adopted Couchbase NoSQL for scalability and MOLO17 Gluesync for real-time bi-directional synchronization, enabling a smooth transition onto a modern platform.
