Replicating Data from MongoDB Atlas to BigQuery

Method 1: Using Google Dataflow Pipelines to Connect MongoDB Atlas to BigQuery

We’ll be discussing two templates in this section:

  • MongoDB to BigQuery Template (for batch processing)
  • MongoDB to BigQuery CDC Template

Part 1: MongoDB to BigQuery Template

MongoDB Atlas to BigQuery: MongoDB to BigQuery Template
  • Open up the Google Cloud console and go to the Dataflow Create job from template page.
  • Provide a unique job name in the Job Name field.
  • Next, from the Dataflow template drop-down menu, choose the MongoDB to BigQuery template.
  • Enter your parameter values in the provided parameter fields. Click on Run job to finish setting up the template.

Part 2: MongoDB to BigQuery CDC Template

MongoDB Atlas to BigQuery: MongoDB to BigQuery CDC Template
  • Open up the Google Cloud console and go to the Dataflow Create job from Dataflow page.
  • Provide a unique name in the Job name field.
  • Next, from the Dataflow template drop-down menu, choose the MongoDB to BigQuery (CDC) template.
  • Enter your parameter values in the provided parameter fields. Click on Run job to finish setting up the template.

Method 2: Use a No-Code Data Replication Tool to Connect MongoDB Atlas to BigQuery

Step 1: Configure MongoDB Atlas as a Source

What can you hope to achieve by replicating data from MongoDB Atlas to BigQuery?

Through MongoDB Atlas BigQuery data replication, you will be able to help your business stakeholders with the following:

  • Aggregate the data of individual interaction of the product for any event. 
  • Finding the customer journey within the product (website/application).
  • Integrating transactional data from different functional groups (Sales, marketing, product, Human Resources) and finding answers. For example:
    • Which Development features were responsible for an App Outage in a given duration?
    • Which product categories on your website were most profitable?
    • How does the Failure Rate in individual assembly units affect Inventory Turnover?

Key Takeaways

In this article, we’ve talked about two ways that you can use to replicate data from MongoDB Atlas to BigQuery: via Google Dataflow pipelines and through a no-code data replication tool. Given that Google Dataflow doesn’t offer support for SaaS sources, you can opt for the latter as a one-stop solution for all your data replication needs, like Hevo.

Hevo allows you to replicate data in near real-time from 150+ sources like MongoDB Atlas to the destination of your choice including BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks, and Firebolt, without writing a single line of code.

Hevo allows you to load data directly to your desired destination. Try out a 14-day free trial to explore its features and also have a look at Hevo’s transparent pricing model.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is MongoDB Atlas overpriced?

It depends totally on your usage and the amount of money you would be willing to afford. It is a pay-as-you-go service; therefore, it appears to be quite economical for smaller projects, but when it comes to dealing with larger-scale applications, it would be quite more expensive. On the other hand, it does have very strong features, including automatic scaling, built-in security, which might be justified by the cost by most of its users.

2. Is MongoDB Atlas SQL or NoSQL?

MongoDB Atlas is a NoSQL database; it literally sets the data in flexible schema-less format. It is based upon documents in BSON, rather than traditional tables. This results in dynamic and variable data structures with higher scalings, making them more suitable for applications that will scale and make it easy to handle unstructured data.

3. Does MongoDB Atlas run on GCP?

Yes, MongoDB Atlas can be run on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Atlas offers a fully managed cloud database that allows you to deploy and scale MongoDB clusters on GCP, taking advantage of its infrastructure for performance and reliability. This integration takes advantage of the rich GCP ecosystem, including advanced security features and seamless data analytics.
