Amazon DocumentDB Serverless is now available
Today, we’re announcing the general availability of Amazon DocumentDB Serverless, a new configuration for Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) that automatically scales compute and memory based on your application’s demand. Amazon DocumentDB Serverless simplifies database management with no upfront commitments or additional costs, offering up to 90 percent cost savings compared to provisioning for peak capacity.
With Amazon DocumentDB Serverless, you can use the same MongoDB compatible-APIs and capabilities as Amazon DocumentDB, including read replicas, Performance Insights, I/O optimized, and integrations with other Amazon Web Services (AWS) services.
Amazon DocumentDB Serverless introduces a new database configuration measured in a DocumentDB Capacity Unit (DCU), a combination of approximately 2 gibibytes (GiB) of memory, corresponding CPU, and networking. It continually tracks utilization of resources such as CPU, memory, and network coming from database operations performed by your application.
Amazon DocumentDB Serverless automatically scales DCUs up or down to meet demand without disrupting database availability. Switching from provisioned instances to serverless in an existing cluster is as straightforward as adding or changing the instance type. This transition doesn’t require any data migration.
