Hi Takis,
Your feedback is greatly appreciated: we understand that to earn the right to service your workloads you are going to want to know you can self-manage on MongoDB Community as an option. I can assure you that if we could bring capabilities in Atlas to MongoDB Community easily, we would do so. You will see us bring some capabilities to Atlas first because we can innovate very quickly in a cloud service context whereas delivering something as self-managed software that can be operated by the community for production use cases at scale requires serious focus and investment
The good news is we’ve already taken a small step here: the Atlas CLI allows you to run Search and Vector Search for development in a fully local way. We look forward to finding a path to deliver even more to the local experience over time.
Cheers
-Andrew
