Atlas

Data Federation. Transform and enrich your data.

Seamlessly query, transform, and aggregate data from one or more MongoDB Atlas databases, Atlas Data Lake and AWS S3 buckets.

Easily aggregate, transform, and persist data

Reduce the time and effort you spend building aggregations that transform and enrich your data. Data Federation reduces the effort, time-sink, and complexity of pipelines and ETL tools when working with data in different formats. Use it to generate insights to power real-time applications or downstream analytics.

Enable downstream analytics

Convert Atlas data from one or more clusters to a columnar file format and output that data to AWS S3 to be consumed by downstream teams, enabling faster insights and simpler data movement on data when used with analytics tools.

Power real-time applications

Preserving the rich structure of your data is invaluable. Now you can directly query Atlas databases and AWS S3 together using a single API. Run powerful but easy-to-understand aggregations to create a refined data set, then persist that data into an Atlas database to power real-time applications.

Feature overview
general_features_multiple_formats
Multiple formats
Analyze data stored in JSON, BSON, CSV, TSV, Avro, ORC and Parquet in place without the complexity, cost, and time-sink of data ingestion and transformation.
mdb_aggregation_pipelines
Powerful aggregations
Run powerful, modular aggregations on data in-place and persist the results to your preferred storage tier for more control over your dataflows.
mdb_query
Federated query
Run a single query to analyze data across multiple MongoDB databases and AWS S3 together and in-place for faster insights.
atlas_serverless
Serverless
No infrastructure to set up and manage - create your cloud federated database with a few clicks and start running queries immediately.
general_features_on_demand
On demand
You only pay for the queries you run and only when actively working with your data. With an on-demand service, you can eliminate the need to predict demand or capacity.
atlas_integration
Fully integrated with MongoDB Atlas
Get access to our other product offerings such as Charts for advanced data visualization and Compass for a visual exploration of your data.

Use Data Federation on MongoDB

We built Data Federation to simplify how you work with rich data. Spend more time uncovering insights instead of managing infrastructure.

Configure a Federated Database Instance
Data Federation combines data from your MongoDB Atlas clusters, Atlas Data Lake and cloud storage (like AWS S3) into virtual databases and collections. Your data remains in-place and in its native format.
Combine, transform and enrich data
Leverage MongoDB’s aggregation pipeline to combine, transform and enrich your data. Get insights quickly with federated, parallelized queries.
Persist query results
Send query results directly to an Atlas cluster, Atlas Data Lake or S3 bucket in your specified file format. Store data in your preferred storage tier without time-consuming ETL processes.
