Data Federation

Data Federation gives Atlas users the ability to combine, enrich, and transform data, execute federated queries across data sources and output data to their preferred destination, through a stable, flexible, performant service.

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 cloud object storage 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 cloud object storage together using a single API. Run powerful but easy-to-understand aggregations to create a refined data set, then persist that data into your preferred location to power real-time applications.

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