Amazon DocumentDB cost saving tips Optimize your Amazon DocumentDB costs with these tips

#1

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.

#2

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.

#3

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.
