MongoDB Atlas is expanding into the Middle East, specifically launching in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) region, bringing its cloud-based database service to 22 AWS regions worldwide. This expansion includes a launch on AWS in the UAE region, which has been designated as an AWS Recommended Region due to its three Availability Zones. As part of this expansion, MongoDB Atlas customers will be able to deploy clusters with automatic failover built-in, ensuring higher availability and low-latency performance for data stored within their own country. This move is particularly significant for organizations in the UAE, including those in government, financial services, and utilities, who will benefit from improved tools to serve local users and improve citizens' lives.
