What you can do with MongoDB in Sylus

Sylus makes MongoDB data easy to explore for people who don't write aggregation pipelines. Ask "How many orders were placed per day last month?" or "Which features do our most active users use?" and get an answer or chart in seconds.

How the MongoDB integration works

Sylus connects with a MongoDB connection URI and a user with the read role. It samples your collections to understand document fields, including nested fields, then queries the collections you select. It works with MongoDB Atlas and self-hosted MongoDB.

Frequently asked questions

Is the MongoDB integration read-only?

Yes. Sylus only reads data from MongoDB. It never creates, edits, or deletes anything in your account, and you choose exactly which data it can access.

How long does it take to connect MongoDB to Sylus?

Under 20 minutes. Connect MongoDB with read-only access, choose the data Sylus can see, then ask your first question in plain English.

Do I need SQL or a data team to analyze MongoDB data?

No. Ask questions about your MongoDB data in plain English and Sylus returns answers, charts, and dashboards. When Sylus runs SQL, it shows the query behind every result so your data team can check it.

Is my MongoDB data secure in Sylus?

Yes. Sylus is SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliant, and permission levels control which MongoDB data each person or team can see. Permissions are enforced on every query, not left to the AI.

Can I get scheduled reports and alerts from MongoDB?

Yes. Turn any question about your MongoDB data into a report that lands in your inbox or Slack daily, weekly, or monthly, and get an alert when a metric spikes or drops.

Can I combine MongoDB with my other tools in Sylus?

Yes. Connect as many sources as you need and put charts from MongoDB next to charts from your CRM, finance, and marketing tools on the same dashboard.
