How we navigated database limits with a growing product
In 2024, one of Vanta’s engineering goals was to improve the quality while maintaining our rapid product development. Around the same time, we also discovered we were months away from reaching our MongoDB Atlas database storage limit. If this threshold was reached, then we wouldn't be able to write any new data and the Vanta product would’ve been heavily degraded. This was a clear signal that we needed to invest more in our infrastructure and storage solution.
