Trying Couchbase just got even easier, you can now import your MongoDB data and indexes into Couchbase seamlessly. Whether you prefer working directly from the command line, or within your favorite IDE, our various new offerings—cbmigrate CLI, Couchbase VSCode Extension, and Couchbase JetBrains Plugin—are flexible, efficient, and easy-to-use tools for MongoDB migration.
Introducing Couchbase-to-MongoDB Migration Tools
Our toolkit comprises three core components, each tailored to different development environments and user preferences.
CLI Tool (cbmigrate)
For those who prefer the command line, cbmigrate offers a robust and efficient way to migrate your MongoDB data to Couchbase. It comes packed with features such as custom key generation (exclusive to the CLI plugin), batch processing, and secure SSL connections.
Key Features:
-
- Custom Key Generation: Generate unique keys for your Couchbase documents using static text, field values, and patterns like UUIDs (CLI-exclusive).
- Secure Migration: Supports SSL encryption and client certificate authentication for secure data transfer.
- Flexibility: Offers detailed command flags to tailor the migration process to your specific needs.
