Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is a fully managed native JSON database designed for scaling enterprise workloads. You can use the same MongoDB API 3.6, 4.0, and 5.0 application code, drivers, and tools to run, manage, and scale workloads on Amazon DocumentDB without worrying about managing the underlying infrastructure.
