MongoDB Atlas Serverless

Good afternoon,

I’m looking to use the MongoDB Atlas product.

I would prefer to use Atlas Serverless but I’m curious if that actually works with Meteor. I read that it didn’t support the op logs? Is that a deal breaker?

If so, I will go with Atlas dedicated.

Thanks

Hello there!
Yeah, they still do not have supported oplog as you can see it here: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/reference/serverless-instance-limitations/#:~:text=Serverless%20instances%20don't%20allow,in%20the%20local%20database.
and also there is a big warning overhere https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/reference/atlas-oplog/#oplog-access

this Stackoverflow answer is really good mongodb - does my meteor app needs both MONGO_OPLOG_URL and MONGO_URL - Stack Overflow

If you want to use it for non-real-time apps it may work. but if you want to do some more reactive stuff / subscriptions it will be necessary.
