MongoDB Atlas hit by GCP capacity constraints across multiple regions

Google Cloud Platform capacity issues are affecting MongoDB Atlas cluster deployments worldwide, with some customers unable to create or modify instances.

MongoDB Atlas is experiencing a major outage caused by Google Cloud Platform (GCP) capacity constraints. The issue is currently under investigation and affects multiple GCP regions across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific/Australia, particularly M50 and S70L instance types.

MongoDB Atlas is a cloud database service that hosts MongoDB deployments for organizations worldwide. The platform allows customers to deploy and manage database clusters across multiple cloud providers.

Customers are reporting errors and delays when creating or modifying Atlas clusters, with some seeing host-down alerts. Provisioning issues have been particularly acute for deployments with search nodes. GCP has acknowledged the widespread capacity constraint. MongoDB is coordinating with GCP to restore capacity and determine the full scope of the outage.

As a workaround, affected customers can retry provisioning attempts later, switch to alternative GCP regions, use a different cloud provider, or select different instance sizes. Customers experiencing production impact should contact MongoDB Support. This is a developing story; we will update as more information becomes available.

We are investigating an issue with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) capacity that is affecting some MongoDB Atlas customers across multiple GCP regions and geographies. We expect the scope of this issue to continue to expand as our investigation progresses. It currently includes, but is not limited to, multiple GCP regions across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific/Australia, as well as M50 and S70L instance types. Customers may experience errors or delays when creating or modifying Atlas clusters, particularly deployments with search nodes. Some customers may also see host-down alerts while this issue is ongoing. GCP has confirmed that the capacity constraint is widespread across the affected regions and multiple instance types. MongoDB is working with GCP to understand the scope of the issue and restore capacity. Customers encountering provisioning issues may retry later or consider using a different GCP region, cloud provider, or instance size. If you are experiencing a time-sensitive production impact, please contact MongoDB Support through the Support Portal or the in-product support chat. We will provide another update as more information becomes available.
