Comparision of
MongoDB Atlas vs DynamoDB
| Overview | Learn more | Learn more |
Infrastructure, Underlying technology Cloud Infrastructure, database system and underlying egine | MongoDB multi-tenant infrastructure, AWS, GCP, Azure | AWS infrastructure |
| Serverless Support | ||
|---|---|---|
API | HTTPS Rest API support to run queries in Edge runtimes | @aws-sdk/client-dynamodb, native support for Vercel Edge, Cloudflare Workers |
Edge Functions Support for Edge Functions | Supported by any Edge Environment with fetch API | Runs over HTTPS protocol, compatible with Edge runtimes.Native multi-regional edge support. You can define regions for each table |
| Developer Experience | ||
Database type | OLTP | OLTP |
Data model Databases store data in models, such as Relational, Columnar or Document based | Document based, NoSQL | key-value, NoSQL |
CLI | atlas | AWS CLI tools |
Languages, APIs The languages supporting the database and API interface for inter-process communication | All languages supporting MongoDB driver | Supported by majority of languages including Node.js, Python, Java, Go, C#, C++ |
Query language Supported query language such as SQL, MQL, PartiQL, | Mongo-Query-Language (MQL) | PartiQL (JSON like syntax) |
ACID compliant ACID is a set of properties of database transactions intended to guarantee data validity despite errors, power failures, and other mishaps | ACID compliant, document level atomicity. | ACID compliant |
Self-hosting Support for self-hosted Database instance | Atlas managed service has advantages over self-hosted MongoDB | Doesn't have support, Only for local development |
Backups | Atlas ensures continuous cloud backup of replica sets and consistent, cluster-wide snapshots of sharded clusters | Point-in-time recovery (PITR) provides continuous backups of your DynamoDB table data. When enabled, DynamoDB maintains incremental backups of your table for the last 35 days until you explicitly turn it off. |
| Security & Compliance Offerings | ||
SOC2 | ||
Multi-factor authentication Support of the cloud-histed database for multi-factor authentication | ||
Encryption Cryptographic security at rest and on transportation level | Atlas encrypts all cluster storage and snapshot volumes at rest by default | All your data in DynamoDB is encrypted in transit, HTTPS, TLS |
SSO | ||
| Monitoring and analytics | ||
Log retention Query log retention usually keeps lofs of operations for debugging and replication purposes | Atlas retains the last 30 days of log messages and system event audit messages for each tier in a cluster" | AWS CloudTrail for operation logs |
Statistics Tools and APIs for analysing and monitoring of Database performance | Web based monitoring tools | Amazon CloudWatch to monitor performance metrics |
| Scalability | ||
Replication and Partitioning | By default run on replicaset, can automatically scale based on load | "Global tables", Multi-region replication |
