Amazon DocumentDB announces improvements to document compression
News
This article discusses improvements to document compression in Amazon DocumentDB, a database service with MongoDB compatibility.
Specifically, the article covers:
- The ability to enable compression on existing collections and set a compression threshold for each collection
- The ability to enable compression on all new collections using a cluster-wide setting
- Compressed documents can be up to 7 times smaller, leading to lower storage costs, I/O costs, and improved query performance
- Customers can modify compression settings on existing collections using the new CollMod settings, without migrating data
- These compression benefits are now supported in Amazon DocumentDB 5.0 instance-based clusters in all regions where Amazon DocumentDB is available
