| Fact | DocumentDB | JayDB |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | The gateway supports SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication. | Each tenant gets an OIDC issuer, and browser apps can use Authorization Code with PKCE without shipping a client secret. |
| Storage | DocumentDB supports native BSON document data and PostgreSQL SQL operations. | The documentation says the engine uses AWS S3 or S3-compatible storage such as Cloudflare R2, MinIO, or Wasabi for durability. |
DocumentDB suits developers who want a MongoDB-compatible document database built on PostgreSQL and can run it locally or on their own infrastructure. It may also suit teams seeking BSON documents alongside PostgreSQL SQL operations.
JayDB may suit developers building static or AI-built apps that need per-user, session, or tenant data, including shared documents across users or workers. It is a limited fit for applications that require relational features, full-text search, or multi-document atomic writes.
