New to MongoDB Atlas: Cross-Region Replication, New Instance Sizes

MongoDB Atlas, the automated database service, has introduced Cross-Region Replication and new instance sizes to enhance its offerings. The cross-region replication feature allows users to enable deployments across multiple regions for better availability guarantees and improved performance for local reads. Additionally, new M2 and M5 instance sizes are now available in select regions across all three clouds, offering a low, predictable price for projects of varying requirements. These updates aim to provide more options and flexibility for customers while maintaining high availability and consistent performance.
