Users require a safer way to migrate MongoDB Atlas clusters between regions without data loss and minimal downtime. Improved migration tools or guidelines would be beneficial.
Hi everyone, I currently have a MongoDB Atlas cluster running in AWS Bahrain (me south 1) and I am considering moving it to a European region such as Frankfurt. My cluster is currently a Flex cluster and the database size is around 450 MB. I want to migrate the database to Europe without losing any data and with minimal downtime if possible. What is the safest way to do this? Should I create a new cluster in Europe and move the data using mongodump and mongorestore, or is there a better method for this type of cluster? Any advice from people who have done a similar migration would be very helpful. Thanks.
