What "wire-compatible" really means: the SDK provisions and operates the cluster, a MongoDB driver runs your documents, and DocumentDB emulates MongoDB rather than being it - the mental model behind every other page in this section.
Create a small DocumentDB cluster, add an instance, read the endpoints, and connect a MongoDB driver over TLS - the everyday control-plane vocabulary in boto3 and AWS SDK v3, with the driver clearly separated from the SDK.
Provision a DocumentDB cluster and its writer plus reader instances via the SDK - CreateDBCluster, CreateDBInstance, StorageEncrypted, subnet groups and security groups, and the waiter that gates each one - in boto3 and AWS SDK v3.
Protect and replicate DocumentDB via the SDK - automated backups and point-in-time recovery, manual and cross-region cluster snapshots, restore to a new cluster, and multi-region global clusters - in boto3 and AWS SDK v3.
A checklist for building on DocumentDB from the SDK - provisioning, security and TLS, backups and DR, availability and read routing, connection and driver behavior, and cost - for boto3 and AWS SDK v3.
