@thienduong13 probably using Bulk API [1] is the fastest way to migrate data, I am not aware of the ready to use tools to be fair. Thank you.

I see using Transporter to Sync Transformed Data from MongoDB to OpenSearch? Do you think about that? Hmmmm.

Bulk API [1] - How to try it? Give me example.

You mean [GitHub - compose/transporter: Sync data between persistence engines, like ETL only not stodgy](https://github.com/compose/transporter)? I don’t see OpenSearch listed as supported engine … (`elasticsearch` may work but not sure).

> Bulk API [1] - How to try it? Give me example.

In simplest form [Amazon OpenSearch Service](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/gsgupload-data.html), but in general, you need to write the code to fetch from MongoDB and push to OpenSearch, the examples depend on the programming language since there are pre-built clients for many of those.
