Thank you for suggesting this: We will have some exciting news to share on this topic soon :)

An error occurred while saving the comment Thank you for the suggestion, Martin! We definitely have an aspiration to eventually revamp our API toward a number of usability and maintenance improvements: it's one of those things that is difficult to prioritize over the near term since the existing API gets the job done in most cases. Still, hearing it from you helps keep this top of mind.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Michael, Thanks for posting--I want to make sure that you've seen this: https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/import/mongorestore/ This tutorial shows how you can actually pipe directly from mongodump to mongorestore without needing to save the file from the former before using it with the latter.
Cheers

We completely agree and want to generally make alerts more prescriptive where possible. There are many classes of alerts so we're starting where we can make the biggest difference. For example for the alert you referenced, we'd like to move to a model in the future where we alert when we can see a way to improve e.g. when we have an index suggestion.

Thanks for bringing this up: we regret not having a path to deliver this one on the timeline we wish we could.
Unfortunately, as you may be aware, Heroku's billing model is somewhat incompatible with the liquid credits model that MongoDB Atlas uses. We've spoken to the Heroku team quite a few times about this over the last few years, and they do understand the challenge.
We do have a few ideas for how we might be able to approximate an Altas-ready model with the Heroku model, but there are a number of caveats. We're hopeful that Heroku's integrations model may become more flexible in future.
Out of curiosity, is it specifically the billing integration that's most important to you, or the ease of setting of the plugin integration to your application stack? I ask because it would be great if we could find a way for the latter to be possible without the billing piece being a blocker.

To say the least, this is completely unacceptable. MongoDB Atlas page load times are higher than ideal in many parts of the world, but our analytics show that the vast majority of users do not wait on the order of *minutes*.
When we see reports about load times of this order of magnitude, we've usually been able to pin these down to ISP-specific issues. In fact you can run a test yourself to see if another connection (for example even via your mobile device) is able to load the page much faster: I bet it will. Usually these issues are transient.
We have a plan to deliver the MongoDB Cloud assets via a global CDN in the future and hope to improve this experience over time. I am very sorry that we're getting in your way here in the interim.

An error occurred while saving the comment This is a great idea. There are many great capabilities that MongoDB Compass has that we just haven't been able to build into MongoDB Atlas yet, and we expect that pattern to continue since Compass iterates so quickly. I hope we will be able to bring this directly into MongoDB Atlas in the future.
Cheers

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Mark,
This is a great suggestion: we are working on a number of other priorities at this time so this will not be something we'll be likely to change over the near to medium term but it's something we definitely hear you on and will have to contemplate longer term.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Jason, Thank you.
For what it's worth, that is a non-default alert in Atlas that we do not recommend most customers enable. We do not want customers to feel significant anxiety stemming from the routine elections that should be expected in MongoDB Atlas generally speaking. We do offer the "Test Failover" capability to help ensure that apps are resilient to elections.
Did you enable that alert because it adds value for you?
Thanks

Out of curiosity, do you receive alerts every time Atlas performs maintenance? Also do you happen to know if those alerts were defaults that Atlas had pre-baked, or might they have been ones that you custom set?
I definitely hear you on not wanting to deal with noise around maintenance windows and would like to figure something out.
Thanks

Can you please open up the lower-right chat button to report this to a MongoDB Cloud Triage Associate so that they can work with you to get this resolved?
Thank you

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Boris,
Thanks for pointing this annoying gap out. Out of curiosity, is there a specific field/type of data you'd want added that would add the most value for you for the user added event?
We have iteratively added fields to certain high value even types and can continue to do so for high value gaps.
Cheers

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the suggestion and definitely a cool concept. I also want to eventually build a better billing explorer into the core experience. We are coming at this from a number of different directions and will definitely use this as food for thought.
Cheers
