Your MongoDB queries have got slow.
Index and reshape.
We profile the slow queries, add the right indexes and reshape documents where needed.
MongoDB development
The database behind most of what we run in production.
i-mve, COMPASS, TeckNow and the parking system we built all store their data in MongoDB. We design the documents around how the app reads them, index for the queries that matter and keep an eye on it after launch.
How we use MongoDB
MongoDB is our default database for Node.js products whose data changes shape as they grow.
- Daily
- Regularly
- When it fits
Where it works well
- Products where records vary, like jobs, forms and surveys
- Fast-moving SaaS where the data model changes often
- Event and log data from devices and integrations
- Multi-tenant apps with clear per-customer boundaries
Where it breaks down
- Heavy reporting that joins many collections, which suits SQL better
- Money and ledgers that need strict relational rules
- No indexes, so queries slow down as data grows
What we use instead
- PostgreSQL Relational data and reporting.
- BothMongoDB for the app, a SQL copy for reports.
You’re probably here because…
What people usually need when they search for MongoDB help.
Your data model has grown messy.
Tidy it in stages.
Migration scripts that reshape data safely while the app keeps running.
You aren’t sure MongoDB was the right choice.
An honest answer.
Sometimes it wasn’t. We’ll say whether to keep it, add SQL for reports, or move.
What we build with MongoDB
Data models that stay fast as you grow.
Schema design
Documents shaped around how your app reads them.
i-mve and COMPASS.
Performance tuning
Slow queries found, indexed and measured.
Data migrations
Reshaping live data without downtime.
Reporting
Aggregations, or a SQL copy when reports get heavy.
Platforms we run on MongoDB
We say plainly which clients we still work with.
i-mve
An all-in-one platform for UK removals and storage companies: enquiries, quotes, jobs, staff, invoices, storage and accounting in one place. It started as one removals firm’s system and is now sold on subscription.

COMPASS for Autism
A platform for a PhD-led autism programme. Trainers, consultants, teachers and parents follow each child’s plan through surveys, consultations and coaching over a year.
- 4
- roles sharing one record
- Angular
- NestJS
- AWS
TeckNow
An IT service platform in the spirit of ServiceNow: tickets, resolution tracking and service requests for IT teams. TeckNow came to us directly rather than through Fiverr.
- Monthly
- ongoing development
- Angular
- Node.js
Smart parking automation
Car parks that run without staff: ANPR cameras read the plate, the gate opens, and the driver pays through Windcave or Stripe. We built the software and still maintain it.

- vehicle transactions a month
- 17

How a build runs
The same steps on every project. You approve designs before we write code.
- Day 1
A 30-minute call
Bring the problem and how you handle it today. We ask questions and tell you honestly what we would build first. We won’t pitch at you.
- Next
Written proposal and fixed quote
What is in scope, what goes on the backlog, the stack we’d use and why, the timeline and one price.
- Week 1
Onboarding
A kick-off meeting, a shared Slack channel and access to the repository. Rehan is your day-to-day contact.
- Design
Designs you approve
We design the main screens and journeys first. Nothing gets coded until you have signed the designs off.
- Build
Architecture first, then code
We agree the architecture before writing code, then build with updates twice a week on Slack. Any new request is logged as extra hours and reported weekly.
- Launch
Live, handed over, supported
Deployed to production with your Git repositories and documentation handed over. Bug fixes are free for the first two months.
What it costs
It depends on scope, so we do not publish a price list. A build is a fixed quote and a developer is a monthly rate, both agreed in writing after a 30-minute call.
A focused first buildFixed quoteA tightly scoped build with one core workflow, quoted after a 30-minute call.
A full projectFixed quoteSeveral user roles, integrations and reporting, scoped in writing before work starts.
Dedicated engineerMonthly rateA full-time engineer working on your product, priced per engineer once we know the stack and seniority.
Included as standard
- UI/UX design, approved before any code
- Two-factor login and OWASP Top 10 security practices
- Deployment to production
- Git repositories and written documentation
- Two months of free bug fixes after launch
Not included
- Payment gateways and other premium integrations, quoted separately
- Graphic design, video and animation
- Features added mid-build, logged as extra hours
After the free two months, monthly maintenance is available. New features are quoted as you need them, or you can add a dedicated engineer. Book a call and we will price both.
Are we the right team for this?
We’re a good fit if
- Your product runs on MongoDB and needs a team
- Queries are slowing down as data grows
- You want an honest view on MongoDB versus SQL
- You want to own the code and data
We’re probably not if
- Requests for new features get reported as bugs so they don’t count as scope
- You mainly need graphic design, video or animation
- You want the lowest price above all else, rather than software that lasts

Platform-level reviews of the agency — not cherry-picked project comments.
What I love about Team7 is that they always say: No worries, we can find a solution. This is the mindset of builders, creators, people who do not have fear, the partner you need if you want to excel.
Working with Mo and his team over the past year has been nothing short of exceptional. I was admittedly sceptical about investing such a large amount, but results exceeded every expectation.
Their responsiveness and willingness to take on our challenging task were impressive.
They are amazing and consistently exceed expectations. They go above and beyond what is asked of them and their communication is top notch, so much so that we joke that they never sleep. The best of the best.
Common questions
Straight answers about MongoDB, cost and how we work.
Ask us something elseMongoDB or PostgreSQL?
MongoDB when records vary and the model changes often, which suits most of the SaaS we build. PostgreSQL when data is strongly relational or reporting is central. Some products use both.
What happens after launch?
Bug fixes are free for two months. After that, monthly maintenance is available. New features are quoted as you need them, or you can add a dedicated engineer. We price both on a call.
Who owns the code?
You do. At handover you get the Git repositories and written documentation. There is nothing tying the software back to us, so you can take it to an in-house team whenever you like.
Who will I talk to, and how often?
Rehan, one of our two founders, is your day-to-day contact. You get updates on Slack twice a week and can see the code in your repository at any time. We split working hours between us to cover US, UK and Australian time zones, and we usually reply within an hour, sometimes the next morning.
