Features
ApsaraDB for MongoDB supports three instance architectures: replica set, sharded cluster, and standalone. Each architecture supports specific MongoDB versions and instance categories. Use this page to check feature availability for your instance configuration.
-
ApsaraDB for MongoDB stopped selling new Serverless (Provisioned) instances on July 11, 2022. For more information, see [Notice] ApsaraDB for MongoDB stops selling new Serverless (Provisioned) instances.
MongoDB 3.4 is discontinued. Instances running MongoDB 3.4 have been unavailable since January 1, 2023. For details, see Notice: End of sale for MongoDB 3.4 instances as of January 1, 2023.
Storage capacity, instance architecture, and storage engine cannot be changed in place. To decrease storage capacity, switch architectures, or change the storage engine, create a new instance. For details, see Change the configurations of an instance.
