Couchbase Database Migration to Azure Cosmos Database

Question

Hello Team,

We are planning to migrate our Couchbase DB to Azure cosmos DB.
Could you please share something so that we can proceed accordingly.

Answer 1

Hi @ashish ranjan ,

For your scenario, there are two ways to migrate data:

1. Use Azure Data Factory: This is the most recommended method to migrate the data. Configure the source as Couchbase and sink as Azure Cosmos DB SQL API, see the Azure Cosmos DB Data Factory connector article for detailed steps. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-azure-cosmos-db)
2. Use the Azure Cosmos DB data import tool: This option is recommended to migrate using VMs with less amount of data. For detailed steps, see the Data importer article. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/import-data)

For more information, please visit our official documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/sql/couchbase-cosmos-migration

Answer 2

Hi @ashish ranjan Thank you for posting your question on Microsoft Q&A.
Azure Data Factory is preferred over the data import tool because this tool has some limitations. It supports migrating/importing smaller size data and doesn’t support all APIs & sources. For large data imports ADF is preferred.
Please mark as accepted answer whenever the information provided was helpful.

Hope that help
