Why MarkLogic?

MarkLogic ingests data as is and adapts to modifications as new data sources are added, and as policies or regulations change. With MarkLogic, CMS didn’t have to sacrifice any features expected from a traditional database, such as government-grade security, ACID transactions, and HA/DR. Additionally, CMS could also take advantage of a NoSQL document model that handles heterogeneous and unstructured data, and scales easily — which is essential, particularly during open enrollment.

Faster Time-to-Production and
Support of Heavy Site Traffic

CMS launched HealthCare.gov within 18 months. In under five months post-launch, MarkLogic supported 5,500+ transactions per second to help over eight million people sign up for health insurance.

Nearly Limitless Scalability and Record-Breaking Performance

MarkLogic has supported 160,000 concurrent users and delivered over 99.9% availability. Over 99.99% of queries have logged response times of less than 0.1 seconds, without any data loss or inconsistency.

Seamless Online Shopping
Experience for HealthCare.gov

CMS can now integrate data as is, so there was no need to recode data from multiple states, government agencies, and health plan providers. This made it easy to provide competitive healthcare options to site users.
