Summary

Amazon DocumentDB engine version 8.0.2 adds native support for MongoDB retryable writes, automatically retrying eligible write operations on transient errors.
No code changes are required; drivers can keep retryWrites enabled and the connection string no longer needs retryWrites=false for DocumentDB 8.0.2 clusters.
Supported for all write commands except updateMany, deleteMany, and transaction commit/abort, and available on instance‑based and serverless clusters in all regions where DocumentDB 8.0 is offered.
