MoSQL

Announcing MoSQL: live-replicate data from MongoDB into PostgreSQL.

An obvious solution is to periodically dump your MongoDB database and re-import into PostgreSQL, perhaps using mongoexport. We experimented with this approach, but found ourselves frustrated with the ever-growing time it took to do a full refresh. Even if most of your analyses can tolerate a day or two of delay, occasionally you want to ask ad-hoc questions about "what happened last night?", and it's frustrating to have to wait on a huge dump/load refresh to do that. In response, we built MoSQL, enabling us to keep a real-time SQL mirror of our Mongo data.
