2026 Releases

​
19 February 2026 Release

  • Introduces port mapping architecture for Google Cloud Private Service Connect endpoints. This new architecture improves scalability and simplifies the management of private endpoints by mapping cluster connections to specific ports through a single service attachment. Port mapping is now the preferred method for new private endpoints in Google Cloud, while existing legacy endpoints remain fully supported.

​
12 February 2026 Release

  • Adds support for secretless authentication when using Microsoft Azure Key Vault with Encryption at Rest. Instead of providing static credentials, you authorize an Atlas-managed Microsoft Azure Service Principal that authenticates using short-lived OAuth 2.0 tokens. This eliminates the need to create, store, and rotate client secrets. This update also introduces support for unversioned Key Vault key URIs (/keys/<key-name>), which automatically resolve to the latest enabled key version. To learn more, see Manage Customer Keys with Azure (Microsoft Azure) Key Vault (Secretless Authentication).
​
2025 Releases

​
05 December 2025 Release

  • Deprecates [search.tracking](https://mongodbcom-cdn.staging.corp.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/tracking/#std-label-fts-tracking-ref) and [Query Analytics UI](https://mongodbcom-cdn.staging.corp.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/view-query-analytics/#std-label-fts-query-analytics). The official end-of-life and complete removal of support will occur in February 2026. Therefore, Atlas will no longer collect query data for display in the Atlas UI for all `search.tracking` requests. If you have any questions or need further assistance, reach out to our support team from the MongoDB Support Portal or contact your Account Executive.

​
19 November 2025 Release

  • Adds support for deploying Atlas clusters on AWS (Amazon Web Services) regions ap-east-2 and ap-southeast-6, and Microsoft Azure regions chilecentral, indonesiacentral, and malaysiawest.
  • Reduces the inactivity policy for pausing inactive Atlas M0 Free clusters from 60 to 30 days. You’ll receive an email notification 7 days before Atlas pauses your cluster. To resume a paused cluster, see Resume One Cluster. If you don’t plan on using your cluster in the next few weeks, we recommend exporting the data and terminating the cluster.
  • Adds a configurable expiration duration for regional outage simulations to solve stuck simulations. You can select a duration of 1 day, 3 days (default), or 7 days, after which the simulation automatically ends. Atlas checks for expired simulations in 24-hour intervals so it may take up to an additional day after the expiration date for the simulation to fully resolve.
  • Adds a Maintenance window completed event to the Project Activity Feed to confirm when maintenance operations finish.
  • Adds support for cross-region cloud-based initial sync between AWS (Amazon Web Services) nodes. This allows Atlas to provision new data nodes from existing nodes in a different AWS (Amazon Web Services) region by leveraging AWS (Amazon Web Services) snapshot capabilities. To further speed up data copy across regions, you can Enable Faster Cross-Region Initial Sync for AWS Clusters.
  • Changes connection rate limits for M10 and M20 cluster tiers from 20 to 15 connections per second.

​
22 October 2025 Release

​
27 August 2025 Release

  • Introduces Intelligent Workload Management (IWM), a dynamic resource manager in Atlas. IWM (Intelligent Workload Management) enables real-time workload monitoring and automated safeguards to maintain high availability under load. The first policy, now active for eligible clusters, blocks user writes when disk space is nearly full to prevent node crashes and maintain read availability. To learn more, see Write-Blocking. If you enable auto-scaling, your cluster has the opportunity to scale up before write-blocking behavior activates.
  • Applies connection rate limits to M10 and M20 cluster tiers to protect cluster availability. These limits restrict the number of new connections each node processes to 20 connections per second. Connections exceeding these limits are queued, and if the period of overload is sustained, some connections are dropped.

​
6 August 2025 Release

​
16 July 2025 Release

​
4 June 2025 Release

  • Adds line items detailing support subscription charges, per project simplifying cost visualization for customers with multiple projects and reducing manual effort.

​
23 April 2025 Release

To learn more, see FAQ: Atlas Navigation Improvements.
  • In preparation for the mongomirror End of Life (EOL) on July 31, 2025, lifts the limitation that source and destination cluster versions must be the same and allows you to live migrate source clusters running MongoDB versions 4.4 and 5.0 to destination Atlas clusters running MongoDB versions 6.0 and 7.0. To learn more, see Migrate or Import Data.

​
2 April 2025 Release

  • Adds service accounts that allow you to manage projects in all your organizations by granting each organization programmatic access to the projects. You can use service accounts or API (Application Programming Interface) keys. To learn about service accounts versus API (Application Programming Interface) keys, see Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.
  • Improves information you see in your invoices, including your current invoice, and allows you to view the total costs separately from the total credit usage. You can also export invoices to PDF or CSV, pay invoices for a subscription and explore invoice cost charts. To learn more, see Billing.
  • Allows you to filter and view the cluster type, such as Dedicated or Flex, on the All Clusters page in the Atlas UI.
  • Adds new sharding metrics, Orphan Count, which is the number of orphaned documents in the shard, and Orphan Data Size, which is the size in bytes of orphaned documents in the shard when uncompressed. To learn more, see Review Available Metrics.
  • Adds the autoCompact privilege action in Atlas that allows database users with the atlasAdmin role to enable background compaction. This privilege action is supported only on dedicated clusters running MongoDB 8.0+. To learn more, see How can I reduce storage usage on a cluster?
