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.
