Kind: release · Impact: medium

## In 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.

## Versions

- DocumentDB 1.0
