Not sure why I'm getting downvoted. The characteristics sound exactly like Aurora.

- "replicates six copies of your data across three AWS Availability Zones (AZs)" [0]

- "Amazon DocumentDB uses a distributed, fault-tolerant, self-healing storage system that auto-scales up to 64 TB per database cluster." [0]

- "When writing to storage, Amazon DocumentDB only persists a write-ahead logs, and does not need to write full buffer page syncs." [1]

I'm guessing if you would have included this reasoning in your original comment, then it wouldn't have been downvoted.


Yeah, downvoting is totally broken on Hacker News. Seems like anything that isn't immediately agreed-with gets downvoted. I don't know where all the small-minded people come from, but they seem to have found their home here.


There is just some random noise. It might just have gotten one downvote. Now it's the top-comment.
