MongoDB announced the public preview of data residency in Europe and the United States for the Embedding and Reranking API Service (ERAS) on Atlas. This introduces a Geography, a named group of cloud regions, as a processing boundary for inference, distinct from the region-level cluster provisioning. Requests to a Designated Service are processed and logged only within the chosen Geography, with a 10% price premium for scoped processing. The Europe Geography initially covers EEA regions, and the US Geography covers US regions, with plans to expand. This approach supports data sovereignty goals for European organizations while maintaining a global endpoint for workloads without residency requirements.
