Microsoft Contributes DocumentDB to the Linux Foundation
Microsoft has contributed DocumentDB – a PostgreSQL-based, open source document database – to the Linux Foundation, where it will be developed under the permissive MIT license.
Since its launch earlier in 2025, the flexible and extensible DocumentDB “has rapidly gained momentum within the developer community, accumulating nearly 2,000 GitHub stars and 100s of contributions, feedback, and adoption,” the Linux Foundation said.
“DocumentDB fills a critical gap in the document database ecosystem, attracting contributors, users, and champions. What’s even more exciting is it provides an open standard for document-based applications, like what SQL did for relational databases,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation.
