Sounds like someone drank the Mongo kool-aid. You absolutely do not need Mongo, let alone Mongo Atlas. 25 million documents with ecommeece products is measly and should fit in a single 600 GB server

Probably not even that - 25mil is nothing really. A normalised schema in an RDBMS would handle that without sweating.
