I have a service I'm hosting on Heroku right now, and I'm using the mLab add-on to ensure that the deployed version is able to write to the database etc. What can I do now? I'm confused since I received this email:
The mLab team has chosen to discontinue this add-on. The mLab MongoDB add-on will be removed from all Heroku apps on November 10, 2020. We advise you to remove the mLab MongoDB add-on yourself before September 1, 2020 via the Dashboard or the CLI.
Anyone have any words of advice? Should I get off Heroku? In case this is easier with AWS (I've never used AWS before though).

In November 2018, mLab was acquired by MongoDB Inc., the maker of MongoDB. As part of this merger, we have been working with our users to migrate to MongoDB Atlas, MongoDB's next-generation Database-as-a-Service and cloud data platform.
MongoDB Atlas integrates easily with Heroku applications. All you need to do is set your Atlas cluster's connection string to a Heroku config variable.
mLab is now part of MongoDB, Inc., the company behind the database that powers your application(s).

Pretty straightforward comment above answered - "You do not need an addon to use Atlas. – D. SM 17 hours ago" So just go ahead with the Sandbox free tier.
