To clarify, Amazon DocumentDB uses the Aurora storage engine, which is the same proprietary storage engine that is used by Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL, and gives you multi-facility durability by writing 6 copies of your data across 3 facilities, with a 4 of 6 quorum before writes are acknowledged back to the client.
So, it's a bit inaccurate to say that DocumentDB has anything to do with Postgres.
