A New Option for Teams Migrating Off Atlas Data API

With the deprecation of the Atlas Data API, MongoDB developers need a seamless path forward—one that preserves performance, flexibility, and developer velocity.

Introducing the Delbridge Data API: a purpose-built, open-source gateway that makes it easy to expose MongoDB collections over HTTPS, with full support for native MQL, dynamic schemas, bulk operations, and more.

Available as a free, self-hosted download, the Delbridge Data API is a drop-in replacement that offers all the functionality teams relied on in Atlas—plus enhanced observability, security, and enterprise-readiness for real-world production environments.

Why Developers Are Choosing the Delbridge Data API

Unlike generic API gateways, the Delbridge Data API is built from the ground up for MongoDB. It’s fast to adopt, simple to scale, and eliminates the need for custom middleware or translation logic.

Key highlights include:

  • Full CRUD Support
    Native support for insert, update, delete, and complex data mutations
  • Native MQL Queries
    No translation layers. Filters, operators, and syntax work as-is
  • Flexible Schema Handling
    Preserve dynamic or versioned schemas without breaking logic
  • Bulk Operations & Native Commands
    Includes bulkWrite, countDocuments, distinct, and more
  • EJSON Support
    Retain BSON precision using MongoDB’s extended JSON format
  • Node.js Driver-Aligned Payloads
    Mirrors MongoDB’s official Node.js driver for minimal ramp-up

Migration Made Easy

Designed to mirror the Atlas Data API in structure and behavior, migrating to the Delbridge Data API is fast and low-risk.
Your existing queries, filters, and application logic stay intact—no rewrites or retraining needed.

We’ve even included side-by-side examples (like find and updateOne) to help teams switch with confidence.

By aligning closely with the MongoDB Node.js Driver, we’ve also reduced documentation overhead—teams can reference official MongoDB docs and start building faster.

Built for Developers. Trusted by Enterprises.

The Delbridge Data API was created by the same team that’s delivered over 500+ successful MongoDB projects across industries like finance, technology, retail, and more. We’ve seen firsthand where integrations break—and built this API to solve those pain points directly.

To ensure production readiness, the API has also been tested and approved by MongoDB’s Solution Assurance Team, providing confidence for teams running in complex or regulated environments.
