Note: This driver is available in Lite, Enterprise, Ultimate and Team editions only. AWS DocumentDB is based on the MongoDB engine.
It has several minor differences in the query processing and network configuration.
However, most features which work for MongoDB will work for DocumentDB as well. Please refer to the MongoDB article.

AWS restricts direct access to DocumentDB clusters from outside of the cloud (region). So you can connect to it directly (using a cluster host name) only when DBeaver is deployed on the EC2 instance.

In other cases you will need to use the SSH tunnel through a proxy machine to access DocumentDB instance. Please read the AWS Documentation about proxy configurations: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/developerguide/connect-from-outside-a-vpc.html

In DBeaver you can use the SSH tab on the connection settings page. Just enter proxy host, user name and specify a private key file (it is provided by AWS as a keypair).

DBeaver processes DocDB SQL queries exactly like in MongoDB. It supports SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE queries.
SELECT queries support WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY and HAVING clauses.

DocumentDB restricts the eval function so all JavaScript queries will be parsed on the client's side and then evaluated at a DocDB cluster one by one. Most JS functions work exactly like in Mongo Shell.
