- Linux Foundation welcomes Microsoft's DocumentDB, a document-oriented database system, into its open source initiatives.
- DocumentDB is a PostgreSQL extension designed as an open alternative to NoSQL document databases, distinct from Amazon's DocumentDB.
- The project aims to provide NoSQL databases with interoperability standards, leveraging PostgreSQL for its reliability and community adoption.
- DocumentDB is compatible with MongoDB API, offering developers flexibility and ease of migration from MongoDB.
- The initiative emphasizes openness, contrasting with MongoDB's shift to a non-open source license in 2018.
- DocumentDB supports hybrid and multicloud strategies, promoting interoperability across different platforms.
- The project is governed by a Technical Steering Committee, including major tech companies like AWS, Google, and Snowflake.
