Request for Mongo DB driver update for Serverless Clusters

[ironmark3]

Redash connects well if the clusters are shared or dedicated, but with serverless clusters, it doesn't connect, and connection times out after 30 sec.
Any plans to add serverless?

That's a bit unclear. Any idea what version of the MongoDB driver supports serverless clusters?

Also, which version of Redash were you testing with? 😄

[ironmark3]

I'm using v10 of redash, also not sure which driver or version, but redash connects to mongo's dedicated and shared clusters and not serverless cluster .

No worries. If you're familiar with using Docker images, you could try with the much newer redash/redash:preview image from Docker Hub instead.

It's not "production quality" yet, but it does include much newer versions of the various drivers (including for MongoDB). So there's a pretty good chance that would work for you. 😄

Hi ! Does anyone know if Redash and the MongoDB driver are still maintained ? Because I have switched to a Serverless Clusters from a sharde one and suddenly Redash can't connect to the database. It doesn't surprise me because on other dev I had to update the driver to a more recent one in order to connect successfully to MongoDB Serverless, so it's seems that's something that should be done to this one too.

@jpmolla That's one of those "it depends" things.

We merged a PR with updated MongoDB support a few months ago, but we've not made an official release yet which includes it.

There's currently a preview build on Docker Hub which does include it though. But if you're going to upgrade your Redash version to that, then make real sure you've taken a backup of your database (and its matching env environment file) just in case something goes wrong.

The preview image is probably good enough for a lot of people if they definitely need something that's in it, but it hasn't received enough testing for us to make a proper release from it yet. So, there's some risk there.
