The VSCO Cam mobile app enables users to take photos, edit them and share via the VSCO Grid, a publishing platform that serves as an online gallery to discover and follow  photographers.

The meta data for these photos is stored in MongoDB which allows VSCO to  manage a fast-growing data set.

The application must ensure that someone in Malaysia or Saudi Arabia has the same great experience as users in California. To accomplish this, VSCO plans on leveraging the flexible sharding features of MongoDB to control the physical location of data, ensuring the data of each user remains close and rapidly accessible.

The result is that no matter where a user uploads their content, they can expect to have an engaging experience from the VSCO Grid and Journal, according to the company release.

Max Schireson, CEO at MongoDB, said: "With the power of MongoDB driving innovative, modern applications, start-ups like VSCO are able to support exponential growth. As VSCO pursues its passion to create an experience for people to discover and be inspired by art, MongoDB will enable them to quickly meet demand and increase their global footprint with an efficient, reliable user experience."
