Key Features
- Real-time Change Data Capture (CDC): The MongoDB Source Connector employs a CDC mechanism using the native MongoDB logical decoding feature, capturing and streaming changes (inserts, updates, and deletes) as they occur in your database.
- Fault-tolerant and Scalable: The MongoDB Source Connector is built with fault tolerance and scalability in mind. It is capable of resuming data replication from the last known offset in case of failures, ensuring data consistency and minimal downtime.
- Initial Load: The connector automatically performs an initial full table load.
- Advanced Filtering: The MongoDB Source Connector provides a range of filtering options, including table and schema filters, allowing you to selectively replicate specific tables and schemas based on your needs.
