Hello @long,  
You would need to spin up an EC2 instance in AWS and configure Percona Server for MongoDB. Then you would need to configure some type of export process out of DocumentDB (Probably something like AWS Firehose, or writing an AWS Lambda script) and save the data to S3. From S3, you’d then have to write another script to import that data into your Percona MongoDB system.

Hello @long,  
I’m not sure of any incompatibility issues since DocumentDB is AWS’s own flavor of JSON storage. They may have changed things. The best way is to try and test.
