Is it really THAT hard to to run on prem/cloud because of the "complexity that comes with setting up and managing MongoDB clusters at scale"? The documentation is strong, it was built with horizontal scalability in mind. I don't see the struggle.
Sounds like this runs on the same storage service as Aurora.
Not sure why I'm getting downvoted. The characteristics sound exactly like Aurora. - "replicates six copies of your data across three AWS Availability Zones (AZs)" [0] - "Amazon DocumentDB uses a distributed, fault-tolerant, self-healing storage system that auto-scales up to 64 TB per database cluster." [0] - "When writing to storage, Amazon DocumentDB only persists a write-ahead logs, and does not need to write full…
If I'm reading the pricing page correctly, DocumentDB would run a _minimum_ of $200/month. That's for the smallest instance and no storage or I/O. Kind of steep if you ask me.
We were paying $5k a month for Atlas. So while it's not 'cheap' for a hosted solution it's cheaper. And the autoscale and RR is better DR is super configurable. And then there is this line. 'Together with optimizations like advanced query processing, connection pooling, and optimized recovery and rebuild, Amazon DocumentDB achieves twice the throughput of currently available MongoDB managed services.`
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah, that's pricy. They're definitely not going after early-stage startups then. But if you have a medium-sized data set (eg. 50+ GB), this is definitely competitively priced. More RAM, storage, compute than Mongo Atlas and Compose for less money. Here's hoping they introduce cheaper options!
50GB is a really small data set.
It's tiny if you're a massive company and it's massive if you're a tiny startup.

Can you please elaborate? This was launched today, you had access to the new feature in advance?
Edit: I can confirm: does not allow the UTF-8 null character in strings: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/developerguide... ... It is written on top of PostgreSQL.
