Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't my app connect to MongoDB Atlas?

Connection issues can be due to Atlas outages, network configuration, or authentication problems. Check our status above filtered by your cluster's region. If Atlas is up, verify your IP whitelist, connection string, and that your cluster isn't paused.

Is my MongoDB data safe during outages?

Yes, MongoDB Atlas uses distributed replica sets with automatic failover. Your data is replicated across multiple nodes. During node failures, Atlas automatically promotes a secondary to primary. Enable backups for additional protection.

Why are my MongoDB queries slow during outages?

Partial outages may cause increased latency as failovers occur. Check Atlas Performance Advisor during issues. If slowdowns persist, verify your indexes, check for lock contention, and ensure your cluster is appropriately sized for your workload.

Does MongoDB Atlas downtime affect Realm/App Services?

MongoDB Realm (now Atlas App Services) may be affected during Atlas outages. Check the App Services component specifically. Device Sync, Functions, and Triggers depend on cluster availability. Implement offline-first patterns for mobile apps.
