Is this still an issue? It looks like there was a possible fix but I’m seeing the same error?

[nickmcintyre]

@barcar please have a look at #1722 and let me know if the updated documentation is easy to follow.

Just tried deploying to heroku by following the instructions in the documentation, and it still didn't work. I left placeholder values in all of the required fields, and it gets hung up on mongodb.

I looked through the fix that you linked, @nickmcintyre (cc @barcar), but I wasn't totally sure how to interpret it. The official docs still don't mention anything about Atlas.

Yes, this is still broken. The pull request with the proposed fixes was never merged.
