My dear Community - feedback is needed!
We observe the adoption of major versions of MongoDB with our telemetry. I have some interesting findings! I looked at the last 90 days of new MongoDB installations. Here’s what I found:
Version 6.0.x has rapidly gained high adoption, while version 7.0.x is being adopted more cautiously. That’s surprising, as upgrading between major MongoDB versions is relatively straightforward and low-risk.
On the one hand, 7.0.x brings much value with performance, security, and developer experience.
On the other hand, you must know some risks we’ve shared within five changes you should know in MongoDB 7.
I’m very interested in the reasons and risks you see in adopting the new version. If you’re willing to share - please let me know!
