Great DB for all

Manage MongoDB like never before
I started with MongoDB cloud manager which used to be called MMS in earlier days to manage MongoDB setup. I can make the difference between these two. The new Atlas is like million miles ahead of MMS. It has all the features I thought of using while started with MMS. Like installing MongoDB without knowing much of configuration. Folks from development background it is a humongous task. As I myself from development background I struggled a lot to do all these steps. Now it is a button click. The restore, backup think of anything of managing and administering Atlas has the answer. It looks so good that I can start development withing 100 minutes of starting Atlas. It shorten the time to start development in MongoDB almost by 80%. And with the free tier it is an irresistible offer for any new comer. I myself use the free tier to explore more every day. It made my job even easier as I can do all the experiment in free tier before pushing the changes in my production system. Thanks team MongoDB for this awesome job.
Now available in Tokyo Region
MongoDB service already set up according to best practices.
Since it became available in the Tokyo region, I think that it is necessary and sufficient for this service in most cases when you want to use MongoDB on AWS.

MongoDB 3.4 Review!
1. Views
2. Linearizable reads
3. Network compression
4. Chunk balancing parallelism (did I mention 3 features only?)
Pretty good!
Instead of building your own MongoDB cluster on EC2 instance, use Atlas instead. It's definitely better and easier! As simple as using RDS :)

Saving us $ and uping our game at the same time
Atlas has exceeded our expectations. For the same or better cost than setting up our own cluster, we get a free automated DB SysAdmin on staff. System updates, MongoDB updates and configuration changes are taken care of reliably in a push of a button. Being able to increase or cluster size or change to larger instances and knowing that it is being done right is excellent. Having all this at no additional cost is even better.
We are using the VPC peering connection capability to create a more secure connection to our MongoDB cluster. The docs are good, but I still had a question. Posted my question in the ever present help chat button and had help within a few minutes.
