Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) vs. Percona Operator

AWS Document DB (with MongoDB compatibility) is well suited when for all the workloads due to its huge feature offerings which will reduce our operational overhead and due to that we can focus more on our WorkLoad rather than optimising and fine tuning Databases. Its Offerings are Advanced Monitoring, DB cluster Upgrades, Migration Assistant, High Availability, Fault Tolerance, Data Durability, Security, Storage Auto Scaling, Backup Restore policies.AWS Document DB (with MongoDB compatibility) some of the features that are there in some other services like MongoDB Atlas that offers vast amount of features plus Supports Multi Cloud while Deploying Database clusters, Immediate support to latest Mongo DB versions, Mobile & Edge Sync like Atlas Edge Sync, Freedom to choose Database deployment in Any top Public Cloud, Having more then 100 plus Monitoring and Telemetry metrics for index and schema recommendations, More Compatibility with MongoDB queries.

Incentivized

Production ready, robust DB solution built for Kubernetes envs, we was able, for the first time, to ship production db workloads inside k8s. Be sure to check differences with "traditional" MySQL and other clustering solutions. Also be sure to match it with proper k8s storage solutions.

• Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) provides Auto scaling of cluster as a by default functionality through this we can focus on more on our applications end
• Through AWS Document DB without much operation overhead we can configure for Database's high availability, Durability, Backup Restores policies, Advanced Monitoring, Security Parameters.
• Also they can provide us a Guide for Database Migration from any Supported Mongo DB vendor to AWS Document DB.
• Via AWS Document DB query Logging ( Profiling ) we can fine tune our database queries and hence improving our END to END Customer Experience and Product Enhancements.

Incentivized

• Easy and fast deployment.
• A reliable, fully automated, high-available db lifecycle management solution.
• Exaustive documentation.
• Production ready.

• Give support for Latest Mongo DB versions available in market
• AWS Document DB is limited up to 32 shards per cluster and 2 shards per Document DB instance and all within single region
• Start supporting more numbers of Rich data types
• Should have access to MongoDB experts who throw light on Cutting edge mongoDB features and integration consulting.

Incentivized

• Some differences compared to "traditional" MySQL solution.
• Had some hard times trying to use it combined with pre-existing techs like WordPress, Magento, etc.
• The specific k8s environment features can have an impact on it, like the storage solutions offered by the cloud vendor.

Easy and fast deployment. A reliable, fully automated, high-available db lifecycle management solution. It requires a bit of learning time for people new to operators ecosystem.

Well documented, there was no need to contact support.

For a long time we struggled finding a viable solution to migrate our existing db workloads inside Kubernetes. Before "operators era" proper db workloads required manual management, of course that easily raised administrative overhead. Then the future started to be brighter with the introduction of operators and the "official" Oracle's MySQL Operator, then Presslab's one, finally Percona's operator. Compared to other operators, the last one allowed us to ship production db workloads inside k8s.

• Great Customer Experience as DB queries are fine tuned
• Less Operational Overhead to manage and take care of the Database
• Automatic applying of Small patches

Incentivized

• It allowed us to use k8s on our entire infrastructure.
• Decreased administrative overhead around our db services.
• As it is an open source technology, it cut down our db pricings.
