📋 Decision Context

Question:

How to rename/migrate MongoDB test-modules cluster data to a properly named cluster for documentation?

Task: MongoDB cluster reorganization - Session 100

🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

Clone data via mongodump/mongorestore to new GoGrab-Docs Flex cluster

Options Considered:

Rename cluster in Atlas (not supported)
Clone data via mongodump/mongorestore to new GoGrab-Docs cluster
Use Atlas Live Migration
Keep test-modules and just rename env vars

💭 Reasoning

Atlas does not support cluster renaming. Created a new Flex tier cluster (GoGrab-Docs) and migrated 585 documents + all indexes with mongodump/mongorestore. Zero failures. Renamed env var from MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING_TEST_MODULES to MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING_DOCS across all source code. Kept backward-compat function in env-loader.js for any scripts still referencing old var name.
