We are excited to announce several new features coming to Atlas Online Archive, including a new storage engine that captures metadata during archival to power faster query performance, allowing customers to choose which region hosts their archival data, and enhanced metrics that provide better insight into the data stored in the archive. With these improvements, customers will observe higher performance, be able to select their preferred storage region, and have greater visibility into their archival data through improved metrics. The new features are initially available for newly created Online Archives on or after June 7th, 2023, with existing archives continuing to function as-is until they are migrated to the new backend storage service over the coming year.
