| Compatibility limit | Amazon DocumentDB supports a vast majority of MongoDB APIs customers use, but not every MongoDB API. | PouchDB cannot replicate with a backend that does not speak the CouchDB replication protocol. |
| Integrations | DocumentDB integrates with CloudWatch metrics and alarms, AWS Lambda change-stream event sources, IAM, KMS, AWS Backup and OpenSearch zero-ETL pipelines. | The project describes itself as framework-agnostic and names Angular, React, Ember, and Backbone as examples. |
| Storage limit | Storage automatically grows in 10 GiB increments up to a maximum of 4 PiB. | The adapters page says Cordova SQLite can allow unlimited storage compared with IndexedDB and WebSQL storage limits. |

PouchDB
PouchDB is a free, open-source JavaScript database for storing application data locally and synchronizing it with CouchDB and compatible servers. It keeps data available offline and can sync local and remote databases after a connection returns. Its replication API can follow later changes and retry after connection failures when configured. PouchDB runs in browsers and Node.js, as well as Cordova, PhoneGap, NW.js, Electron, and Chrome apps. Browser storage defaults to IndexedDB, while Node.js defaults to LevelDB. Documents can include image or audio attachments stored as base64 data or Blobs. PouchDB includes a map/reduce API; Mango queries require the separate pouchdb-find plugin. Its asynchronous API supports callbacks, promises, and async functions, and the project names Angular, React, Ember, and Backbone as framework examples. Listed compatible servers include CouchDB 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x, Cloudant, and PouchDB Server. Replication requires a backend that speaks the CouchDB replication protocol. The project homepage says Apache PouchDB is undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation.
