Automated Continuous Vercel Replication to MongoDB

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Vercel data into your MongoDB instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.

Configure MongoDB as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate Vercel data to MongoDB. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection. 👁 Add a new connection.
   
2. Select the Destinations tab and locate the MongoDB connector. 👁 Configure a Destination connection to MongoDB.
   
3. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the MongoDB connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections in the Help documentation.
4. To connect to MongoDB, set the following connection properties:
   • Connection Name: Enter a connection name of your choice for the MongoDB connection.
   • Server: Enter either the host name or the IP address of the server that hosts your MongoDB instance.
   • Port: Enter the port number of the server that hosts your instance of MongoDB. The default port value is 27017.
   • Auth Scheme: Select the authentication scheme.
   • User: Set this to the database user.
   • Password: Set this to the user's password.
   • Database: Set this to the database you want to read from and write to.
   • Auth Database: Enter the name of the MongoDB database for authentication.
👁 Enter the connection details.

5. Once connected, click Create & Test to create, test and save the connection.

You are now connected to MongoDB and can use it as both a source and a destination.

NOTE: You can use the Label feature to add a label for a source or a destination.

👁 Add a label.

In this article, we will demonstrate how to load Vercel data into MongoDB and utilize it as a destination.

Configure the Vercel Connection

You can configure a connection to Vercel from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Vercel account, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select a source (Vercel).
3. Configure the connection properties.
   
   

   Using API Key Authentication

   Vercel uses Bearer token authentication. You can use either a personal access token or an OAuth access token as the API key.

   To obtain a personal access token:

   1. Log into your Vercel account at https://vercel.com/
   2. Navigate to Account Settings > Tokens.
   3. Click Create Token, enter a name and expiration, and click Create.
   4. Copy the generated token (it will only be shown once).

   After obtaining your token, set the following connection properties:

   • AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
   • APIKey: Set this to your Vercel personal access token or OAuth access token.

   Example Connection String

   Profile=C:\profiles\Vercel.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;APIKey=your_access_token;
   

   Working with Teams

   Many Vercel resources are scoped to a team. To scope all requests to a specific team, set the TeamId connection property to your team's ID. You can find your team ID by querying the Teams table or from the Vercel dashboard. Alternatively, you can specify TeamId in your SQL queries using the WHERE clause where supported.

   Connecting to Vercel

   Once the authentication is configured, you can connect to Vercel and query data from any of the available tables such as Projects, Deployments, Teams, and Domains.

4. Click Connect to Vercel to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. Click Save & Test to save the changes.

Configure Replication Queries

CData Sync enables you to control replication with a point-and-click interface and with SQL queries. For each replication you wish to configure, navigate to the Jobs tab and click Add Job. Select the Source and Destination for your replication.

👁 Select Source and Destination connections for the replication.

Replicate Entire Tables

To replicate an entire table, navigate to the Task tab in the Job, click Add Tasks, choose the table(s) from the list of Vercel tables you wish to replicate into MongoDB, and click Add Tasks again.

👁 Choose entire tables to replicate (Salesforce is shown).

Customize Your Replication

You can use the Columns and Query tabs of a task to customize your replication. The Columns tab allows you to specify which columns to replicate, rename the columns at the destination, and even perform operations on the source data before replicating. The Query tab allows you to add filters, grouping, and sorting to the replication with the help of SQL queries. 👁 Configure a replication Transform.

Schedule Your Replication

Select the Overview tab in the Job, and click Configure under Schedule. You can schedule a job to run automatically by configuring it to run at specified intervals, ranging from once every 10 minutes to once every month.

👁 Schedule your job to run automatically.

Once you have configured the replication job, click Save Changes. You can configure any number of jobs to manage the replication of your Vercel data to MongoDB.

Run the Replication Job

Once all the required configurations are made for the job, select the Vercel table you wish to replicate and click Run. After the replication completes successfully, a notification appears, showing the time taken to run the job and the number of rows replicated.

👁 Run the job.
