Optimize your Amazon DocumentDB costs with these tips

Monitor DocumentDB Use

Regularly use the AWS Cost Explorer service to monitor your DocumentDB usage and costs. It helps identify optimization opportunities like deleting unused instances or databases.

Stop Unused Clusters

In development and test scenarios, stop a DocumentDB cluster when not in use and start it when development resumes. This reduces the cost of maintaining unused clusters.

Single Instance Cluster

Use a single instance cluster for non-production workloads where high availability is not required. Compared to production clusters with three or more instances, a single instance optimizes costs.
