"You wouldn't buy a fake shirt. You wouldn't buy fake shoes. Why buy a fake database? MongoDB Atlas is the real thing."

Choose MongoDB Atlas’s Robust, Global scalability and Developer Empowerment
With full sharding support for horizontal scale-out and clusters that span both global regions and cloud providers, MongoDB Atlas leads the industry in scalability and resiliency to accommodate workloads of any size. Coding of powerful applications is further accelerated through integrated full text search, complete multi-document ACID transactions, and geo-pinning of data. DocumentDB lacks all of this.
Don’t be Hampered by a
Flawed Imitation
DocumentDB fails 64% of all of the correctness tests when comparing the DocumentDB API emulation to MongoDB. Your developers and application deserve the best. The imitation API is years behind the true MongoDB API and there is no guarantee that it will be improved. DocumentDB is a thin proxy layer implemented on top of a relational database, preventing it from taking advantage of true JSON document capabilities. DocumentDB can only scale to 1 writeable primary node and 15 read replicas and 64TB. MongoDB customers regularly run clusters of tens or hundreds of nodes, with hundreds of terabytes of data.
Build any Class of Application on a Fully Integrated Data Platform
MongoDB Cloud is a foundation for working with data. MongoDB Atlas, Search, and Data Federation serve any class of transactional, operational or analytics workloads through a common API, while Atlas App Services and Atlas for the Edge extends the data foundation to the edge.
