Scheduled Maintenance: MongoDB Connection Limit Enforcement
Effective Date: June 16, 2026
Affected Service: IONOS Managed MongoDB Enterprise Edition clusters
To ensure ongoing platform stability and predictable performance, IONOS will begin strictly enforcing connection limits on Managed MongoDB clusters. Applications that open excessive concurrent connections may begin experiencing connection-limit errors after the effective date.
Required Actions to Prevent Disruptions:
Implement driver-based connection pooling.
Reuse the MongoDB client and connection rather than creating a new client per request.
Tune your driver's pool settings appropriately, focusing on variables like maxPoolSize, minPoolSize, and waitQueueTimeout.
Validate your total connection footprint across all application instances and environments.
Helpful Resources & Support
Please review the IONOS MongoDB Sizing Guide to properly tune your connections and pools. If you anticipate needing additional connection capacity, please reach out to Support with your current connection usage patterns (number of instances, expected peak concurrency, and driver settings).
