MongoDB Atlas has introduced Global Clusters, a new feature that enables organizations with geographically distributed applications to deploy and manage a single database that addresses all the aforementioned requirements. This feature allows developers to effortlessly deploy and manage a fully managed deployment in a few clicks, and control the distribution and placement of their data with sophisticated policies that can be easily generated and changed. With Global Clusters, geographically distributed applications can write to (and of course, read from) local partitions of an Atlas deployment called zones, improving app performance by reducing read and write latency. Additionally, this feature satisfies data residency for regulatory requirements, allowing developers to associate and direct the movement of data at the document level. The new feature is available today on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure for clusters M30 and larger.
