Our team has been using both shared and dedicated plans at mLab https://www.mlab.com for almost a year now and we’re very happy with the ease of use and we’ve had zero problems so far.

That's awesome but these features will not likely be on mlab at launch. You may be best using MongoDB Atlas, which will include all 4.0 features.

Let's be honest, lacking behind a few months, especially if it is a major release, isn't a bad idea. With Rails apps in production I keep upto a year of distance to the major releases because there's so many rubygems that need to catch up or be replaced.

That's probably true. I think it took mLab a couple of months to support 3.6. But then again, having a major version release available at launch doesn't seem that important to me compared to all other database-as-a-service features.

Since you mentioned you work for MongoDB, if you guys could partner with Heroku and add Atlas to their official add-ons our team might be able to take a look and switch ;)
