# AWS, Microsoft and Google unite behind Linux Foundation DocumentDB database to cut enterprise costs and limit vendor lock-in

## Summary

Microsoft's open-source DocumentDB database project has moved to the Linux Foundation with backing from AWS and Google, creating the first vendor-neutral alternative to MongoDB.

The project includes AI-optimized features like vector indexing algorithms, making it particularly suitable for AI applications that require semi-structured data storage.
