Knowledge Base

Vizru uses a central data repository called Data Access Hub, which in turn uses hyper-performing MongoDB. MongoDB stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents, meaning fields can vary from document to document and data structure can be changed over time. MongoDB is a distributed database at its core; so high availability, horizontal scaling, and geographic distribution are built-in and easy to use.

Vizru is meant to deliver overlay applications, that is, applications that work on top of the customer’s existing infrastructure. There is a high likelihood most customer’s information already resides across a variety of relational databases such as Mysql, SQL Server, or Oracle. These datasets are difficult to access, slow to respond, and unsuitable for modern applications that rely on real-time transactions such as chatbot. Vizru uses MongoDB as an overlay database to enable real-time, omnichannel experience across customer’s existing infrastructure.
