Scale On-Demand
With MongoDB Atlas, you can scale your databases up, down, or out in a few clicks or API calls.

Capacity Auto-Scaling
We could see that using a horizontally scalable document database was a perfect fit for player-account based games. The ability to create a high traffic volume, highly scalable solution is about knowing the tiny details. To do that, normally engineers need to focus on many different parts of the stack but MongoDB Atlas and MongoDB’s support gives us a considerable shortcut.

We run our application on a deployment using the M30 size instances with the auto-expanding storage option enabled. When our disk utilization approaches 90%, Atlas automatically provisions us more with no impact to availability. And if we experience spikes in traffic like we have in the past, we can easily scale up or out using MongoDB Atlas by either clicking a few buttons in the UI or triggering a scaling event using the API.

Over time, we realized that what we had originally provisioned was may more than what we needed. And at that point, we could have either reprovisioned a cluster to again manage ourselves or just migrate our data to MongoDB Atlas and never have to worry about this problem ever again.

Online Archive
With Online Archive, you can tier your data across fully managed databases and cloud object storage and query it through a single endpoint. Automatically archive historical data and save on operational and transactional data storage costs without compromising on query performance.
Workload Isolation
Configure read-only secondary nodes to run analytical workloads, such as MongoDB Charts or the BI Connector. This ensures your operational workloads are not impacted by resource-intensive queries on the same database.
The Performance Advisor has made indexing the database and optimizing queries a no-brainer.
Nicolae Gudumac, CTO & Co-founder, Planable
The Performance Advisor has been hugely valuable to the team–any unindexed queries are captured and alerted to us, so we can add a new index in minutes if we need to.

Real-Time Performance Panel
See live performance metrics for dedicated clusters, including operations, disk usage, connections, IOPS, hottest collections, and slowest queries.
Custom Alerts
Receive notifications when database operations, server usage, or other conditions reach defined thresholds that affect your cluster’s performance. Get alerts over email, text, and channels you already use.
Key Database Metrics
Create dashboards from dozens of throughput, performance, and utilization metrics to analyze historical database performance down to one minute granularity.
Query Profiler
Diagnose issues quickly with the help of the Query Profiler, which surfaces long-running queries and their key performance statistics. Review historical operations to quickly identify outliers and query patterns across collections and operation types.
