It's not open source so we don't really know. But from what I read online it's a fork of postgres with a custom storage layer

From one their talk the CTO hinted it was regular EBS.

But for many other database such as "Amazon DocumentDB" , "Time Series" humour suggest it's Dynamo.

Pardon my ignorance but isn't dynamo just a document store itself? Most storage engines are designed and optimized for RDBs, so I'd expect inefficiency here unless there's a layer between them.
