Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility)
Serverless, fully managed, MongoDB API-compatible document database service
Why Amazon DocumentDB?
Amazon DocumentDB is a serverless, fully managed, MongoDB API-compatible document database service. Its serverless configuration automatically scales capacity up or down in fine grained increments based on your application’s demands, offering up to 90% cost savings compared to provisioning for peak capacity. As a fully managed database, Amazon DocumentDB removes the undifferentiated heavy lifting of database management tasks such as patching, backups and monitoring. Amazon DocumentDB provides improved resilience and low latency with Global Clusters, and leading security and compliance built to satisfy the requirements of high-sensitivity organizations such as those in the banking, healthcare, and public sectors. It offers low total cost of ownership (TCO) with transparent pricing and no hidden costs. Amazon DocumentDB memory-optimized instances offer up to 43% cost savings compared to other popular document databases. I/O-Optimized provides improved price-performance with up to 40% cost savings for I/O-intensive applications. Amazon DocumentDB is compatible with MongoDB APIs and drivers so you can migrate applications, typically without application code changes or downtime.
Benefits of Amazon DocumentDB
Avoid over provisioning for highly variable workloads by automatically scaling capacity up or down in fine-grained increments based on your application's demand, for up to 90% cost savings compared to provisioning for peak capacity.
Reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) with transparent, predictable pricing, and no hidden costs.
Migrate applications, typically without code changes or downtime while using your existing MongoDB drivers, frameworks, and tooling.
Strengthen your disaster recovery posture and get low latency reads with Amazon DocumentDB Global Clusters, which automatically replicates your data to multiple Regions.

We chose Amazon DocumentDB because it natively stores data in JSON, making it simpler to query and index regulatory documents. This reduces our development cycles, while extending the usability of our data by easily integrating with other systems that leverage JSON.

We migrated our grocery e-commerce backend services to Amazon DocumentDB using the Amazon Database Migration Service, and the entire migration took us less than a week. Best of all, DocumentDB just worked without any changes to our codebase.
