Automatic upgrade to MongoDB 5.0

MongoDB Atlas
4

Hi @Reut_Shaul,

Welcome to the community :wave:

  1. Did someone is know what is the specific date of the automatic upgrade Atlas M0/M2/M5 to MongoDB 5.0?

As noted by Ramachandra, the upgrade will occur mid February. No exact date and time has been specified.

  1. Did the automatic upgrade will also restore the databases at the new version or that I need to do it myself?

My understanding of this questions is that you are wanting to know if you will need to perform any manual steps to get the cluster upgraded to 5.0 with regards to the automatic upgrade. If this is the case, then the answer is no, you will not need to do anything in order for your shared tier cluster to be upgraded to 5.0. If my understanding of your question is incorrect please let me know and provide further context.

In addition to the above, you would have received a reminder email with details on what you need to do. Within the email, it recommends you:

  • Update your driver version to ensure continued compatibility with your applications. Visit our Docs to see which driver versions are compatible with 5.0 and download the latest version.
  • Remove unsupported commands . In MongoDB 5.0, support for commands like ensureIndex have been removed. Visit our Docs to see a complete list and alternative solutions.

You may wish to also test your application(s) with version 5.0 prior to the automatic upgrade if possible to help minimize / identify any issues with your application(s) and MongoDB version 5.0. You can create a new M10+ tier cluster at MongoDB version 5.0 to perform any required testing.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Jason
