  1. Allow private dns names for Atlas private endpoints

    When a customer requires the use of private DNS names for their Atlas private link connection strings, can we allow them to switch on this capability? Basically use a private dns zone instead of a public one and share it as part of the VPC endpoint setup? AWS seems to offer this capability. See this link here https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2020/01/aws-privatelink-supports-private-dns-names-internal-3rd-party-services/

  2. Approval workflow for database deletion

    The current Termination Protection only prevents accidental deletion of a cluster. It helps to have a similar protection to databases inside the cluster.

    Even better if there is an approval workflow, in which several people must accept before a database/cluster is deleted.

  3. secrets versioning for database users

    We would like to have secrets versioning on atlas end so that secrets rotation is easier - as it is a periodic procedure in most companies, would be great to refer to a new secret version of an existing user instead of recreating the user.
    also considering this is sadly not gonna be handled https://feedback.mongodb.com/forums/924145-atlas/suggestions/44283477-vault-should-return-users-only-once-they-can-be-us would be cool to make rotation easier.

  4. There is a grammatic error in button text.

    The button says "Do not me show again"; it should say "Do not show me again".

  5. Change shortcut for GOTO

    The current shortcut (CTRL + SPACE + TAB) for the GOTO functionality is incredibly annoying as it results in a tab switch in Chrome, and it's also quite slow to reach for a shortcut.

    A suggestion would be to use CTRL + K which usually in Chrome is "Search on Google", but it's also used by GitHub for their version of "GOTO", so pressumably a whole lot of people are already used to it.

  6. mongoexport - generate multiple compress files as output

    This is a feature request for https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools/blob/master/mongoexport/main/mongoexport.go

    • similar to s3.format.maxFileSize parameter in ADL $out, cut a new file every xxxMB
    • similar to s3.format.columnCompression parameter in ADL $out, use gzip/zstd to compress the output BSON or JSON
    • support write to locally-mounted file system (EBS/NFS) and cloud object store S3/GCS

    The similar logic has probably implemented in the ADL $out codebase already, we just need to port them over to mongoexport

  7. Add hint support for MongoDB API functions

    The "hint" option for Mongo Shell query/write operations is very useful when the Query Planner does not select the right index by default, or just to make sure the right index is used. When you cannot use the "Hide index" feature on the index selected by default, "hint" becomes the only way to have an efficient IXSCAN.

    However, the "hint" feature does not exist on the MongoDB API functions (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/app-services/functions/mongodb/api/). This means that no command we can run inside a Trigger can specify a "hint" option.

    I think that "hint" is a great "backup" feature for cases where…

  8. Implement SCRAM-SHA-256 mechanism for Atlas or make a SCRAM-SHA-1 as default

    The main problem is inconsistency in the default authentication mechanism of clients and Atlas.

    This causes a failover from SCRAM-SHA-256 to SCRAM-SHA-1 by clients on authentication failure.

    This causes a huge number of errors in "Database Access History" which becomes useless.

  9. MongoDB Connection Pool Proxy

    Currently there is no Connection Pool proxy supported by MongoDB.

    With the ever increasing use of serverless and containers, clusters will need to be over provisioned in order to account for the increased connection counts.

    A better solution would be a Connection Pool proxy allowing for a many-to-one relation for connections to MongoDB.

    In the case of Lambda, this would reduce the number of Zombie connections (Connections that have been terminated on the Lambda side but are still open on the server side.)

  10. Option to deploy the databases with pinned version.

    Atlas by default picks the latest patch when we create the databases for any major version. It would be helpful if the customers can choose and control the minor version of the databases(including patch version) when we deploy the cluster. For example: We want to deploy the databases with 4.2.19 but the Atlas is automatically creating 4.2.22

    This will help us identify any application dependencies on any particular patch version during our migration to Atlas, also this will help us test the patch versions in dev/lower environments before we promote the version to production.

    This feature is important for us…

  12. Atlas shards with different clusters tiers

    For solutions of hot and cold storage, there is at least 2 options:
    - Online archiving
    - Hot and cold cluster (using a trigger and datalake)
    But these solutions have limitations (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/datalake/limitations/)

    There is another solution: using sharding.
    We can set shards like so:
    1 shard: Data from the last 2 months -> Hot data
    1 shard: Data between 2 and 24 months -> Warm data
    1 shard: Data more than 24 months -> Cold data

    The usage pattern: 95% of the accesses/queries go to shard with the hot data.
    On Atlas, we need to set the same…

  13. Test maintenance effects

    While Atlas provides the 'test failover' feature, this only takes effect on the primary of each shard. Customers who run large sharded clusters on Atlas require testing the effects of a full maintenance patch that would restart all mongod's and mongos's, config servers, etc. This feature is a request to improve the chaos engineering features of Atlas.

    At present, customers are being advised to change the TLS version of the cluster which could force restarts of all mongod's, mongos's and config servers. While this may be acceptable in non-production environments, it is unlikely in production environments.

    I believe there's an…

  14. Atlas Administration API: Expose more information on cluster status

    We are using the Atlas Administration API in order to automate scaling a production database cluster deployment in a more fine-grained way than the existing autoscaling offer. The specific database cluster is deployed as a replica set, so there is a number of electable nodes (one primary + 2, 4 or 6 secondaries) and any number of read-only (RO) nodes.

    The goal is to be able to tune the number of nodes in a specific region, and being able to monitor the progress of the change being rolled out. Currently, the API offerings are too limited to do this effectively,…

  16. Allow access to Admin API using AWS IAM role

    It's possible to authenticate to a database using AWS IAM role. The same should be possible for the Admin API.

    The problem with the API keys is that they can be taken away and used elsewhere. They pose an additional risk in an AWS integrated environment.

    This also relates to upcoming Cloudformation Resources where the extension needs to store the API Key in AWS Secrets Manager. The resource already has a role that could simply be configured to be trusted on the Atlas side.

  17. storage autoscaling at N %

    Dear Mongo Team,

    Your engineers advise to add more storage to the clusters when it reach 80 % usage as this is when performance degradation can occur. At the time of writing the autoscaling happens at 90 % disk usage. We want to be able to adjust at what % of usage the autoscaling happens and set it to the value of 80 % basically what your engineers advise.

  18. Don't overwrite explicitl role with default organisation role configured in identity provider

    we have user created in Atlas on Organisation level with specific org role. If we configure Identity Provider and set some default role, then after first login this user will receive this default role and original role will be lost. So, even after disabling identity provider, user will have this default role.

    Suggestion: explicitly granted roles should be keep untouched, but not be applied in case of active identity provider.

  19. Copying gbs of collection data from one project to another project

    Currently it is highly time consuming process of copying a 100gb collection from one project to another project. There is no faster and proper way of copying the data. This feature is highly needed. Because each environment resides in different projects. If someone want to copy only handfull of collections from one project to another(dev to prod and vice versa) then its a nightmare for doing this kind of job. Tried mongomirror and mongodump feature but those are not quite impressive.
