Expand innovation beyond the limits of a single cluster

Support all your multi-environment clusters by synchronizing data in Atlas with on-premises and edge data. Build innovative use cases that take full advantage of cluster-to-cluster data synchronization. Simplify data migrations, improve development lifecycles, or spin off dedicated analytics environments.

Take full control of your data synchronization

Start, stop, pause, and resume your cluster synchronization as needed. The synchronization process can be paused for hours or even days, depending on the size of your MongoDB oplog. This includes the ability to pick up where you left off in the event of a hardware failure or system error.

Enable data movement with reliability

The only MongoDB solution for enabling long-running cross-cluster sync. Seamlessly sync real-time data across your clusters to create target read-only clusters.
Feature overview
mdb_union_concept
Hybrid environments
Synchronize data between different deployment environments: Atlas, private cloud, on-premises, or edge.
mdb_high_availability
Continuous synchronization
Seamlessly access real-time data that is continuously synchronized across source and destination clusters.
general_security_secure_by_default
High resiliency
Synchronization is resilient to a replica set election on the source and destination clusters.
general_content_play
Resumability
Pause and resume your data synchronization as needed. Restart from where you left off even in the event of network-connection failure.
general_security_encryption
Encrypted transfer
Securely synchronize across clusters with end-to-end encryption.
general_features_flexibility
Reverse direction
Reverse the direction of synchronization, swapping source and destination clusters when necessary.
general_action_view
Monitor progress
Track key indicators during the synchronization process.
mdb_sharding
Support for sharded clusters
Natively support sharded collections during synchronization without extra manual effort.
"The ability to leverage Cluster-to-Cluster Sync for our MongoDB-based travel applications will greatly improve many facets of our software lifecycle and further increase our high levels of geographic availability for our customers."

FAQ

Common questions and answers about Cluster-to-Cluster Sync
Read the docs
How does Cluster-to-Cluster Sync work?
At the core of cluster-to-cluster sync on MongoDB is the mongosync utility. This utility makes it possible to establish a data synchronization relationship between two MongoDB clusters regardless of the environment where they are hosted (Atlas, private cloud, on-premises, or edge).

How much does Cluster-to-Cluster Sync cost?
Cluster-to-Cluster Sync is free for Atlas and Enterprise Advanced users. If you are a Community Edition user planning to migrate to Atlas, please consult with your MongoDB account team for guidance.
What versions of MongoDB does Cluster-to-Cluster Sync support?
At the current time MongoDB 6.0 and above versions are supported.
What authentication mechanisms are supported?
mongosync supports connecting to source and destination clusters via the following authentication mechanisms: SCRAM-SHA-256, SCRAM-SHA-1, MongoDB-AWS and X.509.
What source and destination topologies are supported?
The source and destination clusters must be at minimum a single-node replica set. We also support sharded cluster to sharded cluster synchronizations.
