I think that makes sense. Using the technology as designed without the “compatibility” layer is likely a better option. Thanks for sharing as many I think wonder about these DocumentDB and CosmosDB MongoDB imitators.

However, CosmosDB is a managed service, easier than setting up your own database. Did you exclude Atlas from your conclusion for some reason? Ie did AKS do things that Atlas could not?

At the time the client wanted to stay inside of the Azure ecosystem so Atlas and the like weren't seriously considered.
