MongoDB Automation

MongoDB Automation is a way to provide automation for all things MongoDB. There are 2 focus points to this repo:

• Deployment Scripts
• Backup/Restore
• Business Manual Data Adjust/Manual Data Entry

Deployment Scripts

The idea is to push a seperate repository of .js scripts to run against a Mongo Deployment. This could also be run in the working repository if desired

The process can be broken down as the following:

• Staged workflow with a stage per environment
• Add approver/audit step as needed before executing next stage
• Step logic includes the mongosh --file command which will connect to a specific cluster and run the specified .js file as a script
  • Sensitive data, such as cluster userName and secret can be configured in Github Secrets and leveraged within Github Actions
  • Example of a .js file can be found here, checkout all of the .js commands

Backup/Restore

Automate restores by creating a CD process to restore to the latest backup available

Steps:

1. Get latest backup
2. Restore latest backup through mongosh

MDA/MDE

Create a CD process to run MongoDB Ops against a particular collection

Steps:

1. Get inputs from user
2. Run operation
