FAQ

What challenges should I expect when migrating from on-prem MongoDB to Atlas?

Common challenges include ensuring data consistency, planning for network security, and post-migration performance tuning. Our job is to handle all of these for you. We create a detailed plan to manage these risks so your migration is smooth and predictable.

How long does a typical MongoDB Atlas migration take?

The timeline depends on factors like your database size, complexity, and testing requirements. A small, simple migration might take a week, while a large, complex one could take several. We provide a detailed project plan and a clear timeline upfront after our initial assessment.

Will there be any downtime during the migration?

Our primary goal is near-zero downtime. We use proven methods like live replication to keep your old and new databases in sync throughout the process. The final cutover is carefully planned and typically takes just a few minutes during a low-traffic window.

Can Mydbops help us choose the right cloud provider for our MongoDB Atlas setup?

This is a key part of our initial consulting phase. We help you choose the best cloud platform (AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure) based on your specific needs for performance, cost, and any existing cloud infrastructure you may have.

What kind of support is available after the migration is complete?

We don't just migrate and disappear. Every migration includes a period of post-launch support to ensure everything is stable and performing as expected. Afterward, most clients choose our ongoing 24/7 Managed Services for Atlas for complete, long-term peace of mind.

How do I know if my MongoDB setup needs a performance or security audit?

You should consider a performance audit if you're experiencing issues like slow queries, application slowdowns, or if your database crashes often. A security audit is critical if you're preparing for a compliance check (like GDPR or HIPAA) or if it's been over a year since your last review. If your data and user base have grown significantly, a full audit covering both is highly recommended.

Will you just send me a report, or do you also help fix the issues?

The audit provides a detailed report with clear, prioritized recommendations. But we don't stop there. Most clients then hire us for a follow-up consulting project to implement the critical fixes and improvements we identified.

Can you work with my team during the audit, or do you work separately?

Yes, we work directly alongside your team. Through close coordination, we get a clear picture of your business goals and how your application works. This ensures our recommendations are not just generic, but are practical solutions tailored for you, which always include industry best practices. We deliver our findings in a way that empowers your team to understand the 'why' behind them, making it easier to manage the system effectively long-term.

What kind of security checks do you actually perform?

Our security audit is comprehensive. We examine user roles and permissions, check for network exposure, review your encryption setup (both for data at rest and in transit), and scan for any known vulnerabilities based on your specific MongoDB version.

Will the audit affect my database performance or cause downtime?

Our audit process is 100% non-invasive and read-only. We use standard monitoring commands that have a negligible impact. We will never change your data or configuration during the audit, so there is zero risk of downtime.

Is this service only for large enterprises or can startups use it too?

Our services are designed for businesses of all sizes. We work with everyone from high-growth startups who need to focus on their product, to large enterprises that require deep, specialized database expertise. We offer flexible plans that provide incredible value at any scale.

Will this service help if my app is slowing down due to database issues?

Definitely. This is one of the most common reasons clients hire us. Our team specializes in finding and fixing the root cause of database slowdowns. We continuously optimize queries, analyze indexing strategies, and tune server settings to make your application fast and responsive.

How fast do you respond if something goes wrong?

Our systems monitor your database 24/7. When a critical issue happens, our on-call expert is alerted and begins working on within minutes, day or night. Our response times are guaranteed by a formal Service Level Agreement (SLA).

Can I get help even if my MongoDB setup is already live?

Most of our clients come to us with established, live applications. Our entire onboarding process is designed to be safe and seamless, allowing us to connect to your systems and start improving them without any disruption to your business.

What’s included in your Root Cause Analysis reports?

Our Root Cause Analysis (RCA) reports are enhanced with Generative AI to pinpoint the true root cause with incredible speed. Your report is delivered using a clear framework that details the cause of the incident, our resolution, and provides AI-powered recommendations to prevent it from ever happening again.

How do you handle security and access to our systems?

Security is fundamental to our service. We only access your systems through secure, encrypted connections (like a VPN). We sign strict NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) and operate on a "least-privilege" basis, meaning we only get the permissions we need to do our job, and nothing more.

I’ve got a team already, can you work alongside them?

We are designed to be a seamless extension of your team. We collaborate closely with your developers and admins, acting as the specialized database experts they can rely on. This frees them up to focus on building new features while we ensure the database is fast and reliable.

Do you really offer 24/7 support, or is that just during business hours?

This is true 24x7x365 support. It’s not just a ticketing system. When you have a critical issue, you get an expert MongoDB DBA working to resolve it within minutes, any time of the day or night, including weekends and holidays.

What kind of issues can you help me fix in MongoDB?

We can help you fix virtually any issue. Our experts handle everything from slow queries and application slowdowns to sudden downtime, replication problems, and emergency data recovery. If your MongoDB database isn't working perfectly, we can find the problem and fix it fast.
