Amazon DocumentDB Compatibility Tool

If you want to migrate from MongoDB to Amazon DocumentDB and need to assess compatibility, this tool will help you assess the compatibility of a MongoDB application by using the application’s source code or MongoDB server profile logs. This tool produces a simple report of any unsupported operators and file names with line numbers.
