We are excited to share some significant enhancements and new features in our vCore-based Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB. keeping with our commitment to continually improve Azure Cosmos DB. Let’s dive into the details:

Support for Mongo Version 7.0

We are excited to share that we will soon be expanding our support for MongoDB to include Version 7.0! While we currently offer support for MongoDB Versions 5.0 and 6.0, we are broadening our horizons to include MongoDB Version 7.0 in the near future.

Support for GeoSpatial Queries

We have also introduced support for GeoSpatial Queries in vCore-based Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB. This new feature will enable you to construct geo applications with ease. Our support now extends to all major GeoSpatial query operators, aggregation stages, and indexes, providing you with a more comprehensive and efficient toolset for your geo application needs. To enable GeoSpatial features on your cluster, simply go to the “Settings” section on your subscription’s dashboard, select “Preview Features” from the menu, search for the desired feature, and click register.

Auto-Scale Tiers

We are excited to announce that the Auto-Scale feature is coming soon to vCore-based Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB. This upcoming feature promises instantaneous compute scalability, adapting swiftly to increased demand. It’s designed to be a cost-effective solution, ensuring databases can handle peak loads effortlessly. With Auto-Scale, customers will only pay for the resources they use, providing developers with more flexibility to control costs. This solution will be particularly beneficial for customers who tend to overprovision their databases to handle workload spikes. Stay tuned for this exciting update!

Cross Region Replication

We are excited to introduce Cross Region Replication in vCore-based Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB. This feature allows data replication from a primary region cluster to a replica cluster in another Azure region. This guarantees data accessibility even in the unlikely event of a primary region outage. Furthermore, activating cross-region replication enhances both performance and scalability for workloads that are read-intensive.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to innovate and enhance our offerings! Thank you for your continued support.
