Is the ability to execute functions inside of app services being deprecated?
I have an iOS app that uses the realm sdk to execute atlas cloud functions.
I was told by support that because this is a part of “Apps Services”, that it will be deprecated. I’m a bit confused because this isn’t a part of device sync or edge server.
Can someone confirm this service is being deprecated for me?
Yes, sadly, this will also be deprecated.
Some alternatives already exist for the HTTPS Endpoints and Data API, which are more mature and fully integrated with MongoDB. AWS Lambda, Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions, amongst others, offer various full-featured serverless functions that can integrate with your MongoDB instances. You can find more at https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/app-services/data-api/data-api-deprecation/.
I will close this thread, but you can pursue the conversation here if you have more questions.
Joel, atlas cloud functions will be deprecated on 9/30/2025, correct?
That is correct. You can find all the details of the deprecation at MongoDB Feature Updates: End-of-Life And Deprecation | MongoDB
