Cloning a Cluster and Progress on a GitHub Issue

TLDR Shaun asked about cloning an existing cluster and inquired about progress on a GitHub issue. Jason suggested exporting/importing data and provided a timeline for the issue resolution.

hey guys, is there a way to clone/copy an existing cluster to another? Our development cluster is up and would like to make a copy into a newly provisioned one for production data. Or is the only way to re-create each collection manually and then push the data from the production source DB?

You could use the documents/export endpoint to export data from one collection and import it into another using the documents/import endpoint

But in general, syncing from your primary data store would be the most ideal since that has the latest copy of the data

Preferably programmatically via a script, so itโ€™s version-controlled, etc

We started work on it, but paused as other higher priority items came up. Weโ€™ll be resuming work on it in a month or so.

I think this will be one of the best features you can add in terms of power it will give to the entire system - eagerly awaiting ๐Ÿ˜„
