Triggers Arrive on MongoDB Atlas`, a new feature introduced by MongoDB, allows users to automate common tasks and decouple scheduled operations from applications. The new `Atlas Triggers` provide a database-centric way of automating tasks, firing when changes occur in the database or performing work according to a schedule. There are two types of triggers available: `database` triggers, which fire on changes in a database collection's data, and `scheduled` triggers, which fire at scheduled intervals. Both trigger types allow users to call JavaScript functions associated with each trigger, enabling code that performs calculations, issues database commands, or calls external web services. The new feature is available today and can be accessed through the MongoDB Atlas console. It offers a powerful extension to the capabilities of Atlas databases, providing a database-centric version of MongoDB Stitch's application-centric Triggers.
