Unevenly Scale Global Shards

Globally distributed shards should be able to scale unevenly. We have uneven loads across the world and sometimes spikes can hit a single region. Autoscaling for that single region scales everything and increases costs unnecessarily

    Hi thanks for filing but can you please share a little bit more about your use case? MongoDB Sharding is built on the assumption of symmetrically sized shards. In Atlas Global Clusters, the way to scale different geo-zones to different levels of throughput is to introduce more shards into the zones that need more capacity (or to grow into more zones over time).
