MongoDB's default encryption provides a baseline for data protection. The flexibility to let customers manage their encryption keys enhances security.
MongoDB Atlas supports our organization's implementation of microservices architecture by seamlessly fitting into our domain-driven design. While we primarily use domain-driven design rather than microservices, MongoDB Atlas offers flexibility and scalability to meet various requirements. It easily accommodates diverse data structures and events related to our customers, allowing for efficient and straightforward implementation.
Overall, I would rate MongoDB Atlas as a seven out of ten.
My advice to new users is to design your schema thoughtfully, considering MongoDB's document limitations. Utilize profiling and set up alerts for scaling issues. Understand how to query efficiently and focus on proper indexing for improved performance.
