    Hi Andrew,

    I'm Desmond, the DBA at LIVE17, a long-term partner of Mongo. From a cloud SaaS operations perspective, I strongly recommend enabling the 'Cluster Rename' feature. This recommendation goes beyond just the convenience of switching from -dev or - test to prod mode without the need to move a large amount of data.

    We understand that changing the cluster name affects the Cluster endpoint. In situations where we want to quickly recover from a disaster, we opt to restore a new cluster (e.g., MongoDB-bak) from the most recent snapshot. If the Cluster Rename feature is available, we won't need to spend extra time modifying API endpoints or any DNS Route53 settings. We can utilize the Cluster Rename feature to switch the Cluster endpoint, minimizing downtime.

    This function has been present in AWS RDS for quite some time, significantly reducing the complexities of cloud SaaS operations. We believe MongoDB's goal is also to address the frequent data migration challenges during development.

    Sincerely,
    Desmond
