An error occurred while saving the comment Hi David,
Unfortunately at the TCP layer we will only see the source IP address of the request and not your domain.
However, please note that MongoDB Atlas requires security in depth including database level authentication on top of the IP Access List (we have already changed the name of this capability in the UI btw).
Selective IP Access List management is a best practice but many customers do open up to 0.0.0.0/0 and take care to ensure their database cluster passwords are securely managed.
Another option is to procure a static IP address or leverage VPC peering.

Thanks for flagging this issue: We have a longer-term plan to revamp the expressiveness of our authorization system to better serve your use case.
Over the near term, one option to consider is to leverage cross-org billing (https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/billing/index.html#cross-organization-billing) and give different teams or lines of business their own Atlas organizations: in this model your main org becomes the "Paying Org" and the others become "Linked Orgs". This offers you an org-level authorization boundary with consolidated billing. Note as well that you can actually move Projects between organizations if you're an Org Owner of both orgs.
Cheers

I'm sorry but this request is not clearly worded: Can you please try to clarify what you're asking for here?
Thank you

One "odd" thing about a collection in MongoDB is that the collection doesn't really exist when there's no data in it.
Out of curiosity, what's the overall challenge here; in other words why can't you just start inserting data back into the collection namespace and be on your way?
I have a feeling the issue may boil own to the index configuration on that collection: if so that does make some sense. Appreciate any more color you can provide.
Thanks

An error occurred while saving the comment The use of asymmetrical indexes across replicas in a cluster is not a supported configuration in modern versions of MongoDB.
Nevertheless it's certainly worth thinking about a future architecture that could support use cases with different workload and indexing requirements concurrently.

Please accept our apologies for the availability consequences of the Azure outage you mentioned: You have my commitment that we are making changes on our side so that the Azure outage you mentioned does *not* in future lead to Atlas cluster shutdown--we will instead treat transient errors like this differently.

We're actively working on a path to this concept and will be excited to share details soon!

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Mina,
We definitely want to improve this experience so that not all members of he organization have billing visibility in the future. We have a plan to revamp our authorization system over the coming quarters to make this vision easier to deliver.
In the interim, you can control the month-end billing email recipients by setting a Billing Email (see https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/billing/index.html#update-your-invoice-address-details-as-needed). This way only the billing email address will receive those month end summaries. I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for but hope it helps.
Cheers

I realize this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but the Atlas API may help you achieve your objective: https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/reference/api/database-users/

An error occurred while saving the comment 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).

We're very excited to bring MongoDB Atlas to GCP Jakarta! We expect to do so very soon (targeting by end of month but there is always some forward looking uncertainty).

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Johannes,
Thanks for filing this: We are working on a next-generation platform enhancement that will offer a different architecture and way of scaling in a more liquid manner without downtime or the other rough edges you've mentioned here. This is a major undertaking but stay tuned for next year: I wish we had something for you sooner.

We plan to introduce $1/month backups for the M0 free tier in the future: this capability remains a few months out: I'm sorry we don't have it sooner for you.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Simone, Thanks for flagging this use case: We definitely want to improve telemetry over time. Can you share a little more detail around how you would use this: would to do this to compare longer-time periods than months, e.g. quarter over quarter spend, year over year, etc?
Thanks

Hi Anthony,
As much as we'd love to be everywhere, it's unfortunately a monumental lift to build out on top of a new provider.
Out of curiosity, are you using a DO region adjacent to any of our supported cloud provider regions? if so I wonder how the latency would be? It'd be great if we could get the magic of DO for the app tier coupled with Atlas for the data tier using existing building blocks.
