MongoDB replication

Supported Replication Methods

Only Key-based Incremental Replication is supported for MongoDB integrations at this time. If a ever requires full replication - for example, to backfill existing rows with a new ‘s values - will require a full re-replication of the integration’s data. Refer to the Reset Replication Keys guide for more info.

MongoDB Replication Keys

Unlike Replication Keys for other database integrations, those for MongoDB have special considerations due to MongoDB functionality. For example: MongoDB allows multiple data types in a single field, which can cause records to be skipped during replication.

Refer to the MongoDB Replication Keys guide before you define the Replication Keys for your s, as incorrectly defining Replication Keys can cause data discrepancies.

Data selection limitations

MongoDB data can only be tracked at the collection level. This means that when a collection is set to replicate in Stitch, all documents in the collection will also be selected.

Heavily nested data and destination column limits

MongoDB documents can contain heavily nested data, meaning an attribute can contain many other attributes.

If your destination doesn’t natively support nested data structures, Stitch will de-nest them to load them into the destination. Depending on how deeply nested the data is and the per table column limit of the destination, Stitch may encounter issues when loading heavily nested data.

Refer to the Nested Data Structures guide for more info and examples.

Fields Missing from Replication Key Menu

If fields you expect to see are missing from a collection’s Replication Key menu, it may be that the fields aren’t indexed. Refer to the Mongo Replication Keys guide for more info.
