AWS Document DB

Serverless, fully managed document database compatible with the MongoDB API. Enables teams to run MongoDB workloads without managing infrastructure, using the same drivers, tools, and application code as MongoDB while benefiting from purpose-built storage, automatic scaling, and native cloud integration.

Trusted by organizations in banking, healthcare, and the public sector. DocumentDB is FedRAMP authorized and offers Global Clusters that replicate data across up to 10 regions for disaster recovery and low-latency global reads. Unlike self-hosted MongoDB, it separates storage and compute and replicates data six ways across availability zones for durability.

Notable capabilities:

• MongoDB 4.0, 5.0, and 8.0 wire-protocol compatibility with existing drivers and tooling
• Storage auto-scales up to 128 TiB with up to 15 low-latency read replicas per cluster
• Zero-ETL integration with Amazon OpenSearch, plus CloudWatch, IAM, and Backup
• Point-in-time recovery and continuous backups to S3, retention up to 35 days
• Instance-based and elastic clusters for variable workloads, including serverless scaling

Suited for content management, e-commerce profile and preference storage, and high-throughput mobile or web applications. Supports generative AI use cases such as semantic search, recommendations, and agentic applications. Migrations from MongoDB typically require little or no code changes, and connections work with standard MongoDB client libraries.
