## Key Facts

- **Atlas Core vs Atlas Infinite**: MongoDB Atlas offers a single fully managed database platform with two deployment options. Choose Atlas Infinite for AI-scale workloads that need elastic compute and storage, and choose Atlas Core when workloads are steady. 
- **ACID compliant**: Strong consistency with ACID transactions.
- **Serverless**: The Flex Tier combines the flexibility of serverless scalability with predictable, capped costs, avoiding complex and unpredictable billing. 
- **Multi-cloud**: Run a fully managed, multi-cloud Atlas database on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
- **MongoDB 9.0**: Upgrade to our latest faster, more resilient, more observable foundation that has been built to scale mission-critical workloads and AI-powered applications, without a rip-and-replace.
