News
Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) now supports retryable writes starting with engine version 8.0.2, improving application resilience during transient errors.
- MongoDB drivers automatically retry write operations on transient errors like network interruptions or failovers
- Most MongoDB-compatible drivers enable retryable writes by default
- Applications no longer need to set retryWrites=false in connection strings
- Supported for all write commands except updateMany and deleteMany, plus transaction commit/abort
- Available on DocumentDB 8.0.2 instance-based and serverless clusters in all regions
Retryable writes eliminate the need for additional code changes while enhancing application resilience for MongoDB-compatible applications on DocumentDB.
