  1. genuine environments separation

    There should be a way to truly enable running an app in development mode while still running the production mode.

    Currently Atlas App Services only enables a single state of the app
    ("no environment" / "testing" / "development" / "QA" / "production").
    If an app is currently running in production and there is a need to test new changes on the web, i.e. API requests, the app needs to return to "development" state.
    But what if the production state cannot be changed since the app serves using clients?!?!
    There is no why to bypass this except for duplicating the entire…

  2. Meaningful errors

    Descriptive errors are crucial for debugging and simply cannot be found with Atlas App Services !
    1) If an error occurs - the whole function cascade is terminated - not only the steps following the error but also the ones prior to it. i.e. if a console.log was applied on a function that should have produced information before the error - that too will disappear and will not be displayed.
    2) That is why it can take hours to find the exact location of the error this way, by trial and error.
    3) If I was clever enough to console.error…

  3. add geojson data type!

    A lot of spatial data is generated on mobile devices, but the default geospatial format (geojson) can't be synced due to nested arrays that are part of the specification. My current workaround is to save the geojson as stringified json, but this destroys our ability of using the embedded properties object and forces me to maintain a separate collection for the unpacked data, which can go out of sync. Maybe the team can just use the same simple workaround and implement the stringifying in the background and unpack transparently into just the one corresponding collection--- it would be a massive…

  4. display all functions currently using a value

    While viewing a VALUE, it would be most helpful if there could be a list of all functions currently using it.

  6. Validate permissions when saved

    When changing permissions in the UI, there is no validation if the code being entered is valid. This leads to hard-to-debug runtime errors.

    I.e. It is possible to enter something like this:

    {
      "foo": "bar"
    }
    

    With no kind of warning.

  7. Expansion of user permissions

    Currently we have developers test code in the realm ui if multiple people are needing to work on the backend as there is no current method to deploy locally (ideally how you can with AWS Lambda). As of now, you can only directly modify a realm function in the ui if you have "Owner" permissions. This is very scary to give to individual resources

  8. Allow to create and store templates for Realm's 'Sync Permissions'

    Please allow to create, store and use custom templates for 'Permissions' for a partition-based 'Sync Permission' setup. This is under the area named "Define Permissions". There are pre-built ones but no custom ones. Makes you have to keep adding in each time you make changes.

  9. Sync Permission at Object / Document Level

    Please allow Read & Write Sync Permissions to be per object (aka: Document) being processed, rather than at partition-level. Thereby allowing to use '%%root' as a Function's parameter to access the Document to allow permission for read or write per request. Also the permission would carry (deep) through for nested / embedded objects & List<>s. Further, please expose (if not available via '%%root') the Schema (at minimum the "title" property to access Object type).

  10. Headless Browser (Puppeteer)

    Most things that you can do manually in the browser can be done using Puppeteer!
    Some examples:
    Generate screenshots and PDFs of pages.
    Crawl a SPA (Single-Page Application) and generate pre-rendered content
    Automate form submission, UI testing, keyboard input, etc.

  11. data api logs needs more details: origin, raw data in payload, etc

    the data api logs are pretty useless, they need to contain the complete metadata from the api call. source ip address, headers, request body payload, etc...

  12. realm function limits should be configurable

    realm function limits should be configurable or increased, as it hinders capabilities for memory heavy tasks like encryption/decoding
    eg sha256 encryption using crypto can only perform upto 10000 iterarations while industry standards expects atleast a lakh iterations

  13. Bracket Pair Colorizer

    It would be awesome if there could be an implementation of something like VSCode's Bracket Pair Colorizer.
    It may spend a lot of time and attention to pair the start and ending of functions without a visual aid.
    Thank you very much for the consideration.

  14. easily manage single configuration file for different environments for ci/cd

    simply support environment variables expansion in database name or table name
    this way a single configuration folder can be used to configure multiple realm apps
    but each realm app will use a different database/table so the data is separated.
    an official mongodb example code from a blog post about this topic uses this expansion but talking with support they said it is not supported and that the example code is wrong.

  16. logs

    When filtering logs I should be able to enter a date/time in the near future for the To date in order to produce a shareable URL in the address bar that will include log lines in the range from some specified date in the past until "now" without having to precisely enter what "now" is.

  17. Retry function

    We use Realm functions to update related documents in our Mongo Atlas cluster. Sometimes, the DB connection (via context.services.get("mongodb-atlas")) fails. We should... be able to retry establishing a connection? (Or even easier, just configure a retry for the Realm Function itself.)

  18. Programmatic Support for Uploading Dependencies

    Right now the Realm Administration APIs [1] only let's users list dependencies. It would be helpful to have an endpoint to upload dependencies as we have 8 env and uploading manually to all envs is painful.

  19. Allow community submissions to documentation

    Let's face it, the Realm documentation as a whole is really lacking in comparison to the level of documentation of Atlas and other enterprise-level products. There have even been times I've had to search the old stitch documentation to understand how something works, and many other times I'm left experimenting or abandon a feature completely (for example, I gave up on Environments).

    Other places have had success putting documentation on GitHub and allowing community submissions via pull requests.

    Please allow the same -- I would happily contribute rather than needing to maintain my own notes (for me and my team)…

  20. Increase max 100 item limit from Realm Logs API

    Currently the API has a hard limit of returning 100 results. For any sort of real diagnostics with the logs, this is pretty much worthless -- with a large quantity of transactions, the only thing I can think of to do would be to write a script to loop through time intervals and aggregate them on my side.

    As a real-world scenario, I was trying to identify the full scope of impact of a bug that went out and was not caught for a couple days and ran into the limit. It was also difficult to even identify exactly when…
