The AI workloads already running on Amazon DocumentDB, the patterns behind them, and how to decide when a document database is the right home for your AI data.

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is now available as a specialized database skill in the https://aws.amazon.com/products/developer-tools/agent-toolkit-for-aws/. With this skill, AI coding agents can set up, manage, migrate, optimize, and troubleshoot Amazon DocumentDB clusters using step-by-step best-practice workflows, reducing errors and helping developers move faster without needing to look up DocumentDB operations guidance manually. The Amazon DocumentDB skill covers seven workflows: cluster provisioning, schema design, MongoDB compatibility assessment, DMS-based migration with change data capture, performance tuning, a 41-check well-architected review, and major version upgrades. When paired with the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/agent-toolkit/latest/userguide/mcp-server.html, agents can execute AWS CLI commands and run diagnostic queries with IAM-based guardrails, CloudTrail audit logging, and sandboxed execution. The skill also works standalone via the AWS CLI for teams that prefer local execution. The Amazon DocumentDB skill is available at no additional charge as part of the Agent Toolkit for AWS. To get started, see the https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/tree/main/skills/specialized-skills/database-skills/amazon-documentdb or browse the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/agent-toolkit/latest/userguide/quick-start.html.

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) Serverless, an on-demand, auto-scaling configuration for DocumentDB, is now available on version 8.0. Amazon DocumentDB Serverless automatically scales capacity up or down in fine-grained increments based on your application's demand, offering up to 90% cost savings compared to provisioning for peak capacity. DocumentDB 8.0 improves query latency by up to 7x and compression ratio by up to 5x, while adding compatibility with MongoDB API versions 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0. It also introduces enhanced vector search with up to 30x faster index builds, new aggregation stages and operators, and support for collation and views. DocumentDB Serverless is available for both new and existing clusters on Amazon DocumentDB 8.0. You can use the in-place major version upgrade (MVU) to convert your Amazon DocumentDB 5.0 clusters to Amazon DocumentDB 8.0 clusters.

Today, AWS announces the general availability of Amazon DocumentDB Serverless, an on-demand, auto-scaling configuration for Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility). Amazon DocumentDB is a serverless, fully managed, MongoDB API–compatible document database service. Amazon DocumentDB Serverless automatically scales capacity up or down in fine-grained increments based on your application's demand, offering up to 90% cost savings compared to provisioning for peak capacity. For applications with variable workloads, Amazon DocumentDB Serverless offers simplified resource management, with no upfront commitments or additional costs, so you only pay for the database capacity used. It provides the same MongoDB compatible-APIs and capabilities as Amazon DocumentDB, including read replicas, Performance Insights, and I/O-Optimized. Amazon DocumentDB Serverless is ideal for a broad set of applications with variable, multi-tenant, or mixed use (read/write) workloads. For example, enterprises that have thousands of applications, or software as a service (SaaS) vendors that have multi-tenant environments with hundreds or thousands of databases, can use Amazon DocumentDB Serverless to manage database capacity across their entire fleet of databases. Additionally, you can build agentic AI applications that benefit from its native vector search and serverless adaptability to handle dynamically invoked agentic AI workflows. Amazon DocumentDB Serverless is available starting with Amazon DocumentDB 5.0 for both new and existing clusters. For pricing details and region availability, visit https://aws.amazon.com/documentdb/pricing/. To learn more about Amazon DocumentDB Serverless, see the https://aws.amazon.com/documentdb/serverless, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/developerguide/docdb-serverless.html, and https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-documentdb-serverless-is-now-available. Get started in just a few steps in the https://console.aws.amazon.com/docdb.

Amazon DocumentDB global clusters give you multi-region resilience, but until now, that meant paying for provisioned instances in every secondary region — even when they sat idle. With DocumentDB 5.0, global clusters now support serverless instances, so your standby regions can scale down to minimal capacity during normal operations and automatically scale up during failover. You pay for what you use, not what you might need.
