Ask HN: MongoDB is a re:Invent partner?

4 points by rstupek 4y ago ↗ HN

I noticed that Mongodb figures prominently in the sponsor list for re:Invent. That was not something I expected to see considering AWS support for the earlier mongodb open source code. Anyone have any background on if they've made up?

Exposure. They got you talking about.

Something of a misconception here: AWS doesn't use any of their code. They wrote a bolt-on layer above Aurora Postgres that aims to mimic / clone the semantics. It's like running a windows app on Linux via WINE: it sounds cool and then you realize it's going to be a world of pain.
