Why teams connect Azure SQL Database and MongoDB

Keep Azure SQL Database and MongoDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Azure SQL Database and MongoDB continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate data from several line-of-business apps into one Azure SQL database as an integration hub.
  • Feed an Azure SQL operational database with orders and inventory from an ERP in near real time.
  • Replicate operational MongoDB data into a relational database, flattening nested documents into normalized tables for SQL reporting.
  • Capture change stream events and propagate them to SaaS tools in near real time instead of running batch exports.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

What you can sync between Azure SQL Database and MongoDB

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Azure SQL Database objects MongoDB objects
Stored procedures Existing business logic that some teams invoke on write instead of direct table inserts. Documents BSON records created, updated, and deleted during syncs, keyed by _id.
Change tracking / CDC tables System-maintained change records used to drive incremental sync. Embedded documents and arrays Nested structures that syncs flatten or map to related records in relational targets.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in the paired system. Indexes Keep lookups by sync key fast on large collections.
Views Read-only projections used when the sync should expose a curated shape rather than raw tables. Views Read-only aggregation-defined sources for filtered sync datasets.
Schemas Namespaces that organize tables and control which objects a sync user can reach. Change streams The oplog-backed event feed that powers real-time change capture.
Rows and columns Standard relational records with typed columns; primary keys anchor upserts. GridFS files Chunked file storage whose metadata can be referenced by synced documents.

How the Azure SQL Database and MongoDB connectors work

Azure SQL Database

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (TDS), the same protocol as SQL Server; T-SQL over standard drivers
Authentication
SQL authentication (database credentials) or Microsoft Entra ID authentication
Change detection
Change data capture or change tracking, both supported on Azure SQL Database; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC

MongoDB

Integration surface
MongoDB wire protocol via official drivers; Atlas additionally offers an administration REST API for cluster management
Authentication
Database credentials (username/password) or TLS/SSL X.509 certificate (.pem upload), entered individually or via a MongoDB connection string (SRV or standard); Stacksync IP allowlisting required
Change detection
MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node); Stacksync leverages these built-in tools to track changes in real time
