Asahi Shimbun Uses Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB Compatibility) as Content Master Database to Overhaul Official App, Increases Use by 20% Due to Improved Functionality

Headquartered in Osaka, Japan, The Asahi Shimbun Company produces a wide range of media in formats such as the national newspaper The Asahi Shimbun and the news site Asahi Shimbun Digital. The company built an app delivery infrastructure using Amazon Web Services (AWS) when overhauling the official Asahi Shimbun Digital app in April 2020. For its content master database, which stores past articles, Asahi Shimbun selected Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility), a fast, scalable, highly available, and fully managed document database service that supports MongoDB workloads. By utilizing Amazon DocumentDB, which has high performance and availability and is easy to maintain, the company reduced operating costs while maintaining flexibility for its article category searches and other areas.
