Feature request: sanity dataset sync

I have multiple client projects running on Sanity. I use a staging and production dataset for each, using staging for my local development. This way I can show them a staging site, using staging data, for new features or other changes.

I like to keep the staging dataset as close to production as much as possible. So, when I get to work on a new feature, I run:

sanity dataset export production && sanity dataset import production.tar.gz staging --replace && rm production.tar.gz

Now that my clients have been using Sanity for a bit, their assets have grown substantially and this command can take some time - and is also (probably) eating up our bandwidth.

I’d love to be able to do something like:

sanity dataset sync --from production --to staging

and (ideally) have it do a real ‘sync’, instead of an entire dump-and-upload.

This is a… good idea. It’s put on the backlog 👍

I made a package for syncing between datasets – it’s still a little “beta” but has been doing the trick: https://github.com/sanctuarycomputer/sanity-graph-import

You could do a complete sync by providing it with a query for all documents * (but come to think of it you may need to omit the internal document types that start with _sanity)
