MongoDB 3.2.11 migration to AWS DocumentDB

Question

I want to migrate AWS EC2 MongoDB 3.2.11 to AWS DocumentDB. Is there any migration tools that we can use? especially since it's production environment, we want to have nearly zero downtime and can capture CDC. Already tried AWS DMS, but it doesn't support MongoDB 3.2.11.

Accepted Answer

Hello.

If you look at the document below, it says that 3.x is supported.  
Please note that DMS 3.5.0 and later versions do not support MongoDB 3.6 and later versions.  
So, I think you need to update the DMS version to a slightly older version.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Introduction.Sources.html  
> MongoDB versions 3.x, 4.0, 4.2, 4.4, and 5.0  
> AWS DMS versions 3.5.0 and higher don't support MongoDB versions prior to 3.6.

Also, it is difficult to migrate the database without creating any downtime, so I think it is a good idea to set up a shutdown plan to some extent.  
If DMS is not available, you will need to migrate using something like "mongodump".

If you are considering other methods, you may want to upgrade MongoDB or use a third-party tool.

Hi Riku,

Yes, it's already explained on the other posting that you just shared.
DMS only support MongoDB 3.6 & above.

Any other recommendation for open source tool from your side, Riku?

Thanks.
