AWS DocumentDB not MongoDB-compatible, says MongoDB Inc

just like how MongoDB is not open source

Amazon may not even want to implement the complete feature set, just those relevant to their service & customers. SSPL is great if you don't want certain companies to use your software, but it is not a surprise if they come up with different workarounds and alternatives as a result. This surely creates confusion on compatibility and scope of features, especially if these are implemented according to the interests and needs of one specific company, like Amazon, rather than the broader user base.

We are running an open source (Apache 2.0) project called FerretDB which is set out to come up with a MongoDB compatible proxy, and there is a lot of traction on it.
