change streams serverless
Hi. I need the "change streams" feature implemented for serverless deployments.
At this time it's unclear when will it be implemented, hence it's difficult to plan ahead.
Why is that important?
My nodejs app relies on change streams. Without it - the app simply cannot start because basic functionality is missing.
Our devteam maintains a few complete vertical qa/testing stacks. Developers/QA/Product people load their change into these stacks and share with others. They are then used for product UI validation, sanity/automated testing etc.
Because the app depends on change streams, those stacks are restricted to use only production Atlas clusters.
The bandwidth and performance required from those stacks is miniscule. Using the production clusters is not cost effective (and waste of hw resources!).
My understanding is that the Serverless deployments were created exactly for this reason. However for us they are completely useless unless to us they support change streams.
Please update re the feature's expected timeline.

We also use CDC - Change data capture heavily in our applications and change streams would be required
