Release
Open Source DocumentDB 1.0 Reaches General Availability
InfoQ · By Renato Losio ·
The Brief
- DocumentDB 1.0 is the first generally available release of the open source document database.
- DocumentDB is MIT-licensed and built on PostgreSQL.
- It supports the MongoDB wire protocol, and most MongoDB drivers, tools, and queries work without changes.
Why it matters
Developers who use MongoDB drivers and tools may be able to point them at a PostgreSQL-based, MIT-licensed alternative without rewriting queries, though compatibility is reported as broad rather than complete.
Who’s affected
- Teams using MongoDB drivers, tools, or queries who want an open source alternative
- Teams already running PostgreSQL who want document database compatibility
