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.`

Can you please elaborate? This was launched today, you had access to the new feature in advance?

MongoDB Atlas is the name of the cloud service run by MongoDB themselves, with which Amazon DocumentDB competes. https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas

Not OP, but that wouldn’t necessarily be a surprise. As customers make product requests to AWS they can be tapped to test upcoming launches - anything from pre-release testing to very early alphas.

I can confirm that this is very much a thing that they do. We have an account manager able to bump feature requests over to the appropriate product managers, and have been involved in pre-release testing of features that we expressed interest in.

As others have said we had MongoDB Atlas. And it is basically mongodb ran in aws with a pretty interface to do basic things like whitelist ips and another such functions.
