Outbound Static IPs are useful for certain use cases, such as:
- Whitelisting capabilities for connecting to ext database providers (e.g. MongoDB Atlas)
- Certain 3rd party APIs that may apply a global rate limit on certain IP blocks (e.g. Discord)
- Compliance purposes where shared tenancy is a no-go

Are you able to add any updates on this please? We need to be able to connect to MongoDB Atlas. Thankyou.

it's in progress, no ETA yet.
for connecting to Atlas you can whitelist all IP's with
0.0.0.0/0, though that may not be a solution for everyone.

you can probably get away by whitelisting some of the ips here depending on your region https://utilities.up.railway.app/cidr-list

What about via VPC Peering? https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/security-vpc-peering/

That wouldn't be applicable on Railway, but I'm going to get a little off topic and ask why not run Mongo on Railway? it would certainly eliminate the Database <--> Service egress fees.
