Upgrade Your MongoDB Database From 7.0 to 8.0

This guide covers upgrading a Dedicated MongoDB Capsule from 7.0 to 8.0.

Before You Begin

1. Take a backup. Create a manual backup before changing the MongoDB version.
2. Plan for brief disruption. Code Capsules applies the new version on MongoDB Atlas while your capsule status shows Updating. Your applications may experience short connection interruptions during the rollout.

Change the Version

1. Open your MongoDB Capsule dashboard.
2. Go to the Config tab.
3. In the MongoDB Configuration section, click Edit, select 8.0, and save.
4. Confirm the upgrade when prompted.

Wait until the capsule reports as Running and the new version is fully applied before making further changes.

After Upgrading

• Verify application connectivity against MongoDB 8.0.
• Re-run db.version() to confirm the expected version is active.
• Review application logs for driver compatibility or query errors.

Review the MongoDB 8.0 release notes for compatibility changes that may affect your application.
