Objects & tables
Exactly what gets synced
Kimo maps MongoDB into clean, typed tables with primary keys and incremental cursors, so syncs stay fast and joins just work.
3 tables · 13 fields
Tables
users (flattened)
Incremental≈ 56,100 rows| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| _id | id | Primary key |
| profile.email | string | |
| profile.plan | enum | Low-cardinality dimension |
| createdAt | string |
Custom fields and extra objects are discovered automatically on each sync. Row counts are illustrative.
Sample model
From raw MongoDB tables to a certified metric
A starter model Kimo suggests the moment MongoDB is connected. Every join is editable.

Setup
Connect MongoDB in 10 min
No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Kimo asks for the minimum access it needs and tells you exactly what it will read.
- 1
Create a read-only user
Grant SELECT only. Kimo never writes to your database.
- 2
Open network access
Allow Kimo’s static egress IPs, use an SSH tunnel, or run the on-prem agent inside your network.
- 3
Enter connection details
Credentials are encrypted at rest with a per-workspace key and tested before saving.
- 4
Select tables
Choose what to sync, starting with users (flattened). Kimo backfills, then keeps it fresh.
Read-only, encrypted, revocable. Credentials are encrypted with a per-workspace key, never logged, and can be rotated without breaking your models.
