Europe Data Residency for Atlas Embedding and Reranking
Today, MongoDB is announcing the public preview of data residency in Europe and the US for the Embedding and Reranking API Service, also known as ERAS, on MongoDB Atlas.

The introduction of geography-specific data residency builds on the strong foundation of MongoDB Atlas’s enterprise-grade data privacy, security, and compliance features, and can help organizations operating in Europe achieve data sovereignty goals when building AI-powered search into their applications.
