Problem Statement

Decimal Point Analytics’ multi-database architecture, which included MySQL and MongoDB Atlas on AWS, presented several challenges:

• Operational Complexity: The management of multiple systems led to inefficiencies and increased maintenance efforts.
• Data Inconsistencies: The fragmented setup resulted in inconsistent data, raising the risk of errors and reliability issues.
• Slower Time-to-Production: The complexity of managing multiple databases caused delays in development cycles and hindered timely rollouts of new features.
• Increased Costs: The need to operate and maintain several database systems led to higher infrastructure and operational costs.

Solution Provided

Decimal Point Analytics collaborated with Oracle to implement Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB), a unified, high-performance solution that streamlined the entire database environment. The key components included:

• Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB): A fully integrated database platform that supports both relational and NoSQL data models, simplifying management and improving performance.
• Oracle Database API for MongoDB: Enabled seamless integration with existing applications, ensuring a smooth transition from the previous systems.
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI): A secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud environment that supports Decimal Point Analytics’ growing business requirements.

This transition to a unified platform reduced operational complexity and significantly lowered costs.
