Introducing the Ability to Independently Scale Analytics Node Tiers for MongoDB Atlas | MongoDB Blog`
MongoDB Atlas now offers analytics node tiers, providing greater control and flexibility by allowing developers to customize their infrastructure for analytical workloads. This new feature enables teams to choose an analytics node tier larger or smaller than operational nodes in their cluster, ensuring optimal performance for both transactional and analytical queries without over-provisioning the entire cluster. With this added customization, users can scale up or down based on their specific analytics needs, choosing a higher or lower tier as required, which helps optimize cost savings.
