MongoDB 6.0 End of Life on July 31, 2025; automatic Atlas cluster upgrades to 8.0

Spyridon · July 7, 2025, 5:53pm

It seems this change may have went through for some people last year, but for our subscription it’s reaching EoL at the end of this month.

I’m not really finding any notes for Meteor on versions greater than 6.0… I’m wondering what is the minimum version of Meteor I’ll need to support MongoDB 8.0? Still running 2.11 on this project…

You have the driver compatibility here: Compatibility - Node.js Driver v6.17 - MongoDB Docs and you can find the driver version in the Meteor github repository. Switch to the Meteor version you are interested in and check the Mongo Driver at this location: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/devel/packages/npm-mongo/package.js

So it looks like 2.11 is version 4.14.0, Which… Isn’t even on that list, lol.

And Meteor 2.14 is 4.17.2, which isn’t on that list either.

So is this implying I will need to migrate to Meteor 3 by the end of the month…?

@grubba thanks for providing this. Very helpful. Can you also change “earliest” to “latest” for improved clarity?

@rjdavid

I think that is correct and you might read it wrong. My wife explained to me that it refers to the morning time.
The earliest in the morning Mongo is compatible is at 7 AM.
