Sync Jobs
On this page
Sync jobs transfer data from your relational database to MongoDB. Sync jobs use project-level Mapping Rules to distribute data to your MongoDB database.
Types of Sync Jobs
Relational Migrator offers two different sync job types:
Snapshot: Snapshot sync jobs run once, typically for a point in time migration strategy.
Continuous: Continuous sync jobs cover new incoming data for a zero-downtime Change Data Capture (CDC) migration strategy. Continuous jobs run a snapshot stage first, followed by a CDC stage that captures database updates in near-real time. When you run a continuous sync job, your source and destination database data remain in sync.
Note
Kafka Deployment Model
The Kafka deployment model of Relational Migrator allows you to run longer-running snapshot or continuous sync jobs with improved resiliency. For more details about the Kafka deployment model, see Integrating Relational Migrator with Kafka.
