Is it just you?

  1. Check that your current IP address is on the project's IP access list; Atlas rejects everyone else.
  2. Confirm the database user, password and authSource in your connection string.
  3. Try a different network or DNS server if SRV lookups fail.
  4. Check status.mongodb.com for cloud and region incidents.

Alternatives to MongoDB Atlas

Questions

The most common causes are an IP address missing from the access list, wrong credentials, DNS that cannot resolve SRV records, or hitting the connection limit. Atlas's troubleshooting page covers each.

MongoDB posts Atlas incidents on its status page. If other clusters or the Atlas UI work, the problem is likely your cluster or network.
