Setting up a Document Database with Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) and AWS Cloud9

[24/100] #100DaysOfCloud Today, I created a DocumentDB and learnt how to connect to your Amazon DocumentDB cluster from your AWS Cloud9 environment with a mongo shell and ran a few queries.

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is a fully managed native JSON document database that makes it easy and cost effective to operate critical document workloads at virtually any scale without managing infrastructure. Amazon DocumentDB simplifies your architecture by providing built-in security best practices, continuous backups, and native integrations with other AWS services.
As a document database, Amazon DocumentDB makes it easy to insert, query, index, and perform aggregations over JSON data.

Use cases :

  • Store and query content management data

    • Improve the customer experience through fast, reliable access to reviews, images, and other content stored in your content management system (CMS).
  • Manage user profiles, preferences, and requests

    • Generate customer recommendations and enable online transactions. Manage millions of user profiles and preferences.
  • Scale mobile and web applications

    • Build applications that scale to process millions of user requests per second with low-latency global reads.

You can try do it by yourself by following the steps from the link below:
