Bombardment - Lightweight Bulk Data Automation

The Right Tool for the Right Job

Understanding when to use Bombardment in your data migration strategy

Application Layer Migrations

Bombardment excels at:

API-based bulk data transfers
Service-to-service or local-to-service migrations
Bulk record processing via REST/gRPC
Data transformations before API submission
High-throughput application integrations

Perfect for hitting application endpoints repeatedly, with (optional) data transformations

Database Schema Migrations

Better handled by:

SQL-based ETL tools
Database-specific migration utilities
Schema versioning frameworks
Direct database connection tools
Data replication solutions

Complements these tools for the application layer requirements of the migration strategy

Load Balancing

Client-side strategies like Round Robin ensure even distribution and no bottlenecks.

Transformation Rules

Apply powerful JSONata or GoTmpl-based rules for data transformations.

Job Management

Track, pause, resume, and stop migrations with a built-in state machine.

Modular Architecture

Clean, layered design for easy extension, debugging, and maintenance.

Data Migration Job Configuration

Bombardment offers an intuitive graphical interface for configuring and managing data migration jobs.

The Bombardment GUI allows you to configure your data source, transformation rules, and target system without writing any code.

Command Line Interface

Bombardment CLI offers powerful automation capabilities with full access to all features through simple command-line arguments.

bash

# Run Bombardment in CLI mode
bombardment cli \
  --client_context '{"channel":"REST","dial_keep_alive":10000000000,"dial_timeout":5000000000}' \
  --data_context '{"batch_size":100,"should_store_responses":false}' \
  --load_balancer '{"strategy":"ROUND_ROBIN","urls":["https://api.example.com","https://api-backup.example.com"]}' \
  --parser_context '{"file_path":"./data.csv","strategy":"CSV"}' \
  --transformation_context '{"strategy":"JSONATA","method_expression":"\"POST\"","endpoint_expression":"\"/api/v1/\" & resource","headers_expression":"{ \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\", \"X-Request-ID\": request_id }","body_expression":"{ \"id\": $number(id), \"timestamp\": $millis() }"}'

How It Works

Bombardment simplifies your data migration process in four steps

Configure Your Source

Define your source data format (CSV, JSON, PARQUET, or custom formats) and connection details.

Define Transformations

Apply intuitive transformation rules to reshape your data for the target system.

Configure Target Channels

Set up REST or gRPC endpoints with load balancing strategies.

Execute & Monitor

Run batched migration jobs and track progress through the state machine.

Data Privacy & Security

Bombardment runs entirely on your machine or server. No data is ever sent to external servers or stored in the cloud without your explicit configuration.

Your sensitive business data stays within your infrastructure, giving you complete control over your information.
