Amazon DocumentDB 8.0.2 Now Handles Retryable Writes Like a Boss

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) just dropped support for retryable writes in engine version 8.0.2, meaning your MongoDB apps can now automatically retry failed write operations when network hiccups or failovers happen—no extra code needed. Available across all regions for both instance-based and serverless clusters, this feature works on most write commands (except updateMany and deleteMany) and lets you ditch that retryWrites=false workaround.
