A leader in the Human Resources and Recruitment Optimization space has expanded its operations to new AWS regions and requires a manageable, dynamic, and secure way to manage access and to adhere to customer requirements while maintaining operational needs.

MongoDB temporary access to production – Apono


The Challenge

The company would like to provide developers access to MongoDBs on its production environment. To comply with customer compliance restrictions and to prevent human error, it requires:


Right-Size IAM – Grants developers “Just-Enough” access to resources for a “Just-in-Time” duration, reducing the chance of human-error and adhering to customer requirements. 

For example:

Read-only Access to Production MongoDBs – On demand Via ChatOps


Read/Write Access to Production MongoDBs – On demand Via ChatOps with Approval

The company needed a robust solution that would provide the following:

  • Scalability –The company had developed an internal solution that was not able to meet its growth. It requires a solution that can meet any scale of operations.

  • Full Audit Trail – A solution that will document each step of the request/approve process including access justification, enabling full transparency of customer production access whenever it is required.

  • One-Stop-Shop – A single solution that will manage permissions across all of the organization’s cloud resources:


“We rely heavily on MongoDB in our production environment. Managing access to it has proven to be a challenge to say the least. Our internal solution had its glory days but was unable to meet our welcomed growth.”
