Amazon DocumentDB, with MongoDB compatibility

Seems like this is likely to be the real result of licenses like the SSPL. Not even a terrible outcome if the different implementations remain relatively compatible.

Finally an AWS service where the name makes sense and describes what it is. I hope this is the start of a trend.

I love Azure for this. The names are almost all extremely straightforward. There are a handful that have made the jump from confusing to straight forward, and a handful that have made the jump from straightforward to confusing (CosmosDB, formerly DocumentDB, chiefly comes to mind).

I hope MongoDB's users are really keen on on-prem otherwise this might be a challenging moment for them.

Looks good. I used to use both MongoDB and CouchDB (for very different use cases) a lot but haven’t touched them in a long while.

AWS lacked something like this before, which is why I used MongoDB Atlas (MongoDB's own managed mongo service). How is this different than DynamoDB (other than the obvious API differences)?

SSPL style licenses only work if the software can't be cloned but that's a difficult assumption.
