MongoDB hosting options now that Heroku mLab add-on is being removed


I have a service I'm hosting on Heroku right now, and I'm using the mLab add-on to ensure that the deployed version is able to write to the database etc. What can I do now? I'm confused since I received this email:

The mLab team has chosen to discontinue this add-on. The mLab MongoDB add-on will be removed from all Heroku apps on November 10, 2020. We advise you to remove the mLab MongoDB add-on yourself before September 1, 2020 via the Dashboard or the CLI.

Anyone have any words of advice? Should I get off Heroku? In case this is easier with AWS (I've never used AWS before though).

  • Pretty straightforward comment above answered - "You do not need an addon to use Atlas. – D. SM 17 hours ago" So just go ahead with the Sandbox free tier.
