Hi Emily Maketer,

Your M0/M2/M5 Atlas cluster(s) will be automatically upgraded to MongoDB 7.0 in February 2024.

What’s in the update?

MongoDB 7.0 introduces new features and improvements such as:

Compound wildcard indexes
New aggregation operators such as $median and $percentile
Queryable Encryption (now Generally Available)

What do I need to do?

To ensure a seamless transition, we recommend updating your driver version to ensure continued compatibility with your applications. If your applications are compatible with MongoDB version 7.0, no downtime is expected for your applications. Visit our Docs to see compatibility changes in 7.0, determine which driver versions are compatible with 7.0, and download the latest version.

While most upgrades do not require any application changes, if you are concerned about compatibility we recommend exploring the Stable API.

Not ready?

You can upgrade to a dedicated Atlas cluster for more flexibility and control over when major version updates and maintenance are performed, as well as gain access to premium features like point-in-time restore capabilities, automated data archival, schema recommendations, unrestricted Atlas search indexes and more.
