New Features

• Added support for MongoDB's Intelligent Workload Management (IWM) and ingress connection rate limiting features. The driver now gracefully handles write-blocking scenarios and optimizes connection establishment during high-load conditions to maintain application availability.

  • Supported on all commands.
  • Custom application retry logic may need to be adjusted to avoid retrying too long.
  • Upgrade is recommended to avoid impacts of server changes related to overload errors.
    • If not upgrading, custom application retry logic may need to be adjusted to handle higher rates of overload errors. See Overload Errors.
  • Add URI option maxAdaptiveRetries to configure the maximum number of retries for operations that fail with a SystemOverloadedError (default: 2).
  • Add URI option enableOverloadRetargeting to control whether retries of SystemOverloadedError will attempt to use a different server (default: false).

• Added serverMonitoringMode option configures which server monitoring protocol to use. Valid modes are
  "stream", "poll", or "auto". The default value is "auto":

  • With "stream" mode, the client use the streaming protocol when the server supports it or fall back to the polling protocol otherwise.
  • With "poll" mode, the client use the polling protocol.
  • With "auto" mode, the client behave the same as "poll" mode when running on a FaaS platform or the same as "stream" mode otherwise. The client detects that it's running on a FaaS platform via the same rules for generating the client.env handshake metadata field in the MongoDB Handshake spec.
