The MongoDB Atlas Flex Tier is a new offering designed to help developers and teams navigate variable workloads while growing their apps. It combines the best features of shared and serverless tiers, providing elasticity and predictable pricing. This tier simplifies cluster provisioning on MongoDB Atlas, allowing for a unified path from idea to production. With the Atlas Flex tier, developers can focus on innovation rather than database management, and it bridges the gap between flexibility and predictability, offering predictable pricing, data services, seamless migration, and a unified on-ramp from exploration to production. The tier is particularly suitable for startups with unpredictable traffic, minimum viable products in generative AI applications, and provides comprehensive support for application development at all stages.
