MongoDB Automated ETL

ETL the Modern Way. Get your data out of MongoDB so you can analyze it.

The MongoDB data source allows you to import data from your MongoDB database into Panoply. By default, the collections and documents of your database are easily transformed into tables and records, respectively, to fit the relation model that Panoply supports. The nested data — objects or arrays — from your documents, are extracted and moved to their own tables to create a parent table to child table relationship. Lastly, the data source includes metadata columns for each record created during the collection. These columns provide additional data regarding the extraction and state of the record (document) during ingestion.

Modernizing MongoDB ETL

What is ETL?

Integrating data for analytics can be especially hard in a fast-shifting, rapid growth startup environment, where relevant business data might be spread out across a collection of apps and spreadsheets. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tools will help you collect your data from APIs and file transfers (the Extract step), convert them into standardized analytics-ready tables (the Transform step) and put them all into a single data repository (the Load step) to centralize your analytics efforts.

The shift to ELT

The traditional ETL model is a relic of the pre-cloud era, when compute resources were expensive, and everything needed to be cleaned up before analysis. These days, moving the transformation step closer to the time of analysis is not only feasible, it’s desirable. ELT lets you load raw data, increasing your analytical flexibility and moving relevant data more quickly from your engineering team to your analytics and BI teams.

All in one MongoDB data pipeline

Panoply’s 80+ data connectors and built-in automated cloud data warehouse will let you go from a collection of siloed datasets to sophisticated analyses that integrate your MongoDB data in a matter of minutes. Panoply is the only tool that combines an ETL process with a data warehouse, giving you total control over your data from sync to storage. We’ll handle all the infrastructure so you can skip the engineering work and go straight to analysis with your favorite BI tool.
