Doesn’t Azure also have a not-Mongo service also called DocumentDB? Is this the same code? These cloud services are confusing enough when they don’t borrow each other’s names.

The Azure service formerly known as DocumentDB is now called Cosmos DB. Part of that switch was introducing multiple APIs, including a MongoDB API: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/mongodb-int...
Correct. They added more gateway compat layers in addition to Mongo and renamed it from DocumentDB to Azure CosmosDB then.
That’s now Azure CosmosDB because it offers several different APIs for your data.
