Why teams connect InterSystems IRIS and MongoDB

Keep InterSystems IRIS and MongoDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between InterSystems IRIS and MongoDB continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • Replicate IRIS tables to Postgres so application teams can build against a familiar database
  • Sync operational tables in IRIS bi-directionally with a CRM so business teams work on IRIS-backed data without SQL access
  • Consolidate documents from multiple clusters or tenants into a single warehouse-facing store.
  • Sync MongoDB collections with a CRM so customer documents written by the application appear as CRM records, and CRM edits flow back as document updates.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

What you can sync between InterSystems IRIS and MongoDB

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

InterSystems IRIS objects MongoDB objects
Globals The underlying multidimensional storage; typically accessed indirectly via SQL or objects in syncs. Change streams The oplog-backed event feed that powers real-time change capture.
Namespaces Namespaces partition databases and determine the connection context for integrations. GridFS files Chunked file storage whose metadata can be referenced by synced documents.
Stored Procedures Server-side logic callable over SQL supports controlled writes and transformations. Databases Logical groupings of collections that scope a sync connection.
Tables Relational projections of stored data are the primary read/write surface for SQL-based syncs. Collections The table-like sync unit; each collection maps to a table or object in the paired system.
Views SQL views expose curated slices of data for outbound replication. Documents BSON records created, updated, and deleted during syncs, keyed by _id.
Schemas Schema organization scopes which tables a sync connection can see. Embedded documents and arrays Nested structures that syncs flatten or map to related records in relational targets.

How the InterSystems IRIS and MongoDB connectors work

InterSystems IRIS

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC, plus object and REST access layers
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Polling (timestamp or query-based); no standard webhook surface
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Constrained by database resources rather than published API rate limits

MongoDB

Integration surface
MongoDB wire protocol via official drivers; Atlas additionally offers an administration REST API for cluster management
Authentication
Database credentials (username/password) or TLS/SSL X.509 certificate (.pem upload), entered individually or via a MongoDB connection string (SRV or standard); Stacksync IP allowlisting required
Change detection
MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node); Stacksync leverages these built-in tools to track changes in real time
