In this post, we show how to connect to and work with Amazon DocumentDB using CloudShell. Amazon DocumentDB is […]

In the post Reduce cost and improve performance by migrating to Amazon DocumentDB 5.0, we discussed various ways to reduce costs by migrating your workload to Amazon DocumentDB. In this post, we demonstrate the document compression feature in Amazon DocumentDB to reduce storage usage and I/O cost.

In this post, we explore the fundamentals of building containerized applications for Amazon DocumentDB using Quarkus with the Panache ORM library. We cover the processes of containerizing your code, building an image, and deploying it using Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate.

Amazon DocumentDB now supports authentication of database users using IAM – users and applications can authenticate to Amazon DocumentDB clusters using IAM users and roles. In this post, we discuss this new feature and provide you resources on how to enable IAM authentication in your Amazon DocumentDB cluster.

In this post, we discuss how to migrate a self-managed document database or Amazon DocumentDB database to Amazon DocumentDB using AWS DMS homogeneous migration.
