Sounds like this runs on the same storage service as Aurora.

  Not sure why I'm getting downvoted. The characteristics sound exactly like Aurora. - "replicates six copies of your data across three AWS Availability Zones (AZs)" [0] - "Amazon DocumentDB uses a distributed, fault-tolerant, self-healing storage system that auto-scales up to 64 TB per database cluster." [0] - "When writing to storage, Amazon DocumentDB only persists a write-ahead logs, and does not need to write full buffer page syncs."

    Yeah, downvoting is totally broken on Hacker News. Seems like anything that isn't immediately agreed-with gets downvoted. I don't know where all the small-minded people come from, but they seem to have found their home here.

      There is just some random noise. It might just have gotten one downvote. Now it's the top-comment.

    I'm guessing if you would have included this reasoning in your original comment, then it wouldn't have been downvoted.

  Good article on Aurora's design: https://www.allthingsdistributed.com/files/p1041-verbitski.pdf https://www.allthingsdistributed.com/files/p1041-verbitski.p...
