Answer 1

This access to system.indexes is an open issue in mongobee. The issue has been fixed in the project, but the project was abandoned before the fix was ever released.

Due to this project abandonment, two successor libraries have since been forked from mongobee which have fixed this issue: Mongock and mongobeeJ.

Switching your application's dependency from the mongobee library to one of these successor libraries will allow you to run mongobee database migrations on Atlas.

To summarize these libraries:

• Mongock - Forked from mongobee in 2018. Actively maintained. Has evolved significantly from the original, including built-in support for Spring, Spring Boot, and both versions 3 & 4 of the Mongo Java driver.
• mongobeeJ - Forked from mongobee in 2018. Five updated versions have been released. Minimal evolution from the original mongobee. Mongo Java Driver 4 support was implemented in August, 2020. This project was deprecated in August, 2020, with a recommendation from its creators to use a library such as Mongock instead.
