Migrate or Import Data
You can bring data from existing MongoDB deployments, JSON, or CSV
files into Atlas using either live migration tools where Atlas
assists you, or tools for a self-guided migration of data into Atlas.
Note
To move data to a serverless instance, use Compass to export and import data, or migrate data with self-managed tools. To learn more, see Serverless Instance Limitations.
- Choose a Data Import or Migration Tool
- Choose between different tools for data import and migration based on common cluster configurations.
- Live Migrate: Push Your Data from Cloud Manager or Ops Manager to Atlas
- Use the Atlas-managed live migration service to push data from a live deployment in Cloud Manager or Ops Manager into Atlas. Atlas guides you through the process and ensures the live migration from Cloud Manager or Ops Manager to Atlas proceeds only when you are ready to start the migration.
- Live Migrate: Pull Your Data into Atlas
- Use the Atlas-managed tools to pull data into Atlas. Atlas guides you through the process and ensures the migration proceeds only when you are ready to start the migration.
- Migrate Data with Self-Managed Tools
- Use
mongomirror,mongorestore,mongoimport, or MongoDB Compass to bring data into Atlas. With these tools, you manage the migration process outside of Atlas.
