Trying Couchbase just got even easier, even if you want to migrate from DynamoDB. You can now import your DynamoDB data and indexes into Couchbase seamlessly. Whether you prefer working directly from the command line or within your favorite IDE, our new offerings – cbmigrate CLI, Couchbase VSCode Extension, and Couchbase JetBrains Plugin – provide flexible, efficient, and easy-to-use solutions for migrating your data.
Tools to help migrate DynamoDB to Couchbase
Our toolkit includes three core components, each tailored to different development environments and user preferences.
CLI Tool (cbmigrate)
For those who prefer the command line, cbmigrate offers a robust and efficient way to migrate from DynamoDB to Couchbase. The cbmigrate tool comes packed with features such as custom key generation (exclusive to the CLI), batch processing, and secure SSL connections.
Key Features
-
- Custom key generation: Generate unique keys for your Couchbase documents using static text, field values, and patterns like UUIDs (CLI-exclusive).
- Secure migration: Supports SSL encryption and client certificate authentication for secure data transfer.
- Flexibility: Offers detailed command flags to tailor the migration process to your specific needs.
