While Amazon DocumentDB supports a vast majority of the MongoDB APIs that customers actually use, it does not support every MongoDB API. Since launch, we have continued to work backwards from our customers’ needs and have delivered an additional 80+ capabilities, including MongoDB 4.0 and 5.0 compatibility, support for ACID transactions, and more recently, support for sharding with Elastic Cluster. Its flexible schema, extensive query capabilities, durability, scalability, and ease of use makes it a great database engine for supporting mission-critical game workloads at scale.

As a document database, Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is fast, scalable and highly available.

The flexible, semi-structured, and hierarchical nature of document database works well with game use cases such as player profiles and in-game items, and allows game developers to iterate faster to meet players’ demands.

Document database is one of the fastest growing categories of nonrelational database that makes it easier for game developers to store and query data as JSON-like documents.
