Device Sync and Edge Server are Deprecated

Dear community members,

We understand that our recent announcement to deprecate services is raising some questions and some of our users will be meaningfully impacted by this news. We would like to reiterate our commitment to supporting you through the transition before the end-of-life (EOL) of these services in September 2025 to ensure the solutions you’ve built on our platform can continue to produce successful outcomes for you and your users.

The decision to deprecate those services was not taken lightly, but it will allow us to refocus our efforts on providing customers with a better experience with our other services and double down on our investments in the core database and other Atlas services.

Regarding the Atlas Device SDK. It consists of two parts: the on-device database and Atlas Device Sync. The on-device database will continue to be an open-source project. For the syncing, some of our partners, such as Ditto, are already working on integrations to make it easier for you to replace this SDK. Other partners also have similar offerings that integrate well with MongoDB (AWS AppSync, HiveMQ, Ably). A list of those alternative providers can be found at https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/app-services/sync/device-sync-deprecation/.

Our team is dedicated to continuing to develop resources to help you navigate this migration process. In the meantime, if you need support along the way, you can contact our support team.
