Why teams connect Databricks and MongoDB

Connect MongoDB and Databricks with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want MongoDB's rows in Databricks, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in MongoDB where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in MongoDB sync into Databricks in real time, and result tables in Databricks sync back into MongoDB, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Serve ML feature outputs computed in Databricks to production apps through a synced operational store.
  • Land CRM and ERP records in Delta tables continuously so lakehouse models work from current operational data.
  • Keep a MongoDB-backed product catalog aligned with an ERP's item master in both directions.
  • Consolidate documents from multiple clusters or tenants into a single warehouse-facing store.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Databricks sync into MongoDB, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Databricks and keep MongoDB focused on its operational workload.

What you can sync between Databricks 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.

Databricks objects MongoDB objects
Catalogs Top level of the Unity Catalog namespace, scoping which schemas a sync can address. Databases Logical groupings of collections that scope a sync connection.
Schemas Group tables and views; syncs typically target a dedicated schema per source system. Collections The table-like sync unit; each collection maps to a table or object in the paired system.
Delta Tables The primary read and write target; operational data lands here as managed or external tables. Documents BSON records created, updated, and deleted during syncs, keyed by _id.
Views Curated read-only projections used as sync sources for downstream tools. Embedded documents and arrays Nested structures that syncs flatten or map to related records in relational targets.
Materialized Views Precomputed results read on a schedule for reverse-ETL style syncs. Indexes Keep lookups by sync key fast on large collections.
Volumes Unity Catalog file storage used for staging bulk loads. Views Read-only aggregation-defined sources for filtered sync datasets.

How the Databricks and MongoDB connectors work

Databricks

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC via SQL warehouses, plus a REST API including statement execution
Authentication
Personal access tokens or OAuth machine-to-machine credentials for service principals
Change detection
Delta Lake Change Data Feed for row-level changes; otherwise incremental polling on watermark columns
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput depends on the SQL warehouse size; API calls are subject to workspace rate limits

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
