Atlas Data Federation Overview

Atlas Data Federation is a distributed query engine that allows you to natively query, transform, and move data across various sources inside and outside of MongoDB Atlas. This page highlights key features, tutorials, and resources for integrating Data Federation into your applications.

You can use Atlas Data Federation to:

  • Copy Atlas cluster data into Parquet or CSV files written to AWS S3 buckets or Azure Blob Storage.

  • Query across multiple Atlas clusters and online archives to get a holistic view of your Atlas data.

  • Materialize data from aggregations across Atlas clusters, AWS S3 buckets, and Azure Blob Storage.

  • Read and import data from your AWS S3 buckets or Azure Blob Storage into an Atlas cluster.
