**aggregation operations**.
31+

Aggregation operations process data in your MongoDB collections and return
33+
computed results. The MongoDB Aggregation framework is modeled on the concept of
34+
data processing pipelines. Documents enter a pipeline comprised of one or more
35+
stages, and this pipeline transforms the documents into an aggregated result.

Aggregation operations are expressions you can use to produce reduced

and summarized results in MongoDB. MongoDB's aggregation framework
28-
allows you to create a pipeline that consists of one or more stages,
29-
each of which performs a specific operation on your data.

You can think of the aggregation pipeline as similar to an automobile factory.
43-
Automobile manufacturing requires the use of assembly stations organized
44-
into assembly lines. Each station has specialized tools, such as
45-
drills and welders. The factory transforms and
46-
assembles the initial parts and materials into finished products.

Comparing Aggregation and Query Operations
53-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
54-
55-
Using query operations, such as the ``find()`` method, you can perform the following actions:
56-
57-
- Select *which documents* to return
58-
- Select *which fields* to return
59-
- Sort the results
60-
61-
Using aggregation operations, you can perform the following actions:
62-
63-
- Perform all query operations
64-
- Rename fields
65-
- Calculate fields
66-
- Summarize data
67-
- Group values

70-

- Returned documents must not violate the :manual:`BSON-document size limit </reference/limits/#mongodb-limit-BSON-Document-Size>`
72-
of 16 megabytes.
73-
74-
- Pipeline stages have a memory limit of 100 megabytes by default. You can exceed this
75-
limit by setting the ``allowDiskUse`` property of ``AggregateOptions`` to ``true``. See
76-
the `AggregateOptions API documentation <{+api+}/interfaces/AggregateOptions.html>`__

Aggregation Example
116-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
117-
118-
To perform an aggregation, pass a list of aggregation stages to the
119-
``collection.aggregate()`` method.
120-
121-
In the example, the aggregation pipeline uses the following aggregation stages:
122-
123-
- A :manual:`$match </reference/operator/aggregation/match/>` stage to filter for documents whose
124-
``categories`` array field contains the element ``Bakery``.
125-
126-
- A :manual:`$group </reference/operator/aggregation/group/>` stage to group the matching documents by the ``stars``
127-
field, accumulating a count of documents for each distinct value of ``stars``.
128-
129-
.. literalinclude:: /code-snippets/aggregation/agg.js
130-
:start-after: begin aggregation
131-
:end-before: end aggregation
132-
:language: javascript
133-
:dedent:
134-
135-
This example produces the following output:

137-
.. code-block:: json
138-

{ _id: 4, count: 2 }

The aggregation pipeline is similar to an automobile factory assembly line. An
52+
assembly line has stations with specialized tools that are used to perform
53+
specific tasks. For example, when building a car, the assembly line begins with
54+
a frame. As the car frame moves though the assembly line, each station assembles
55+
a separate part. The result is a transformed final product, the finished car.
56+
57+
The *aggregation pipeline* is the assembly line, the *aggregation stages* are
58+
the assembly stations, the *expression operators* are the specialized tools, and
59+
the *aggregated result* is the finished product.

Compare Aggregation and Find Operations

---------------------------------------
63+
64+
The following table lists the different tasks you can perform with find
65+
operations compared to what you can achieve with aggregation operations. The
66+
aggregation framework provides expanded functionality that allows you to
67+
transform and manipulate your data.

Server Limitations
93+
------------------
94+
95+
Consider the following :manual:`limitations
96+
</core/aggregation-pipeline-limits/>` when performing aggregation operations:
97+
98+
- Returned documents must not violate the :manual:`BSON document size limit
99+
</reference/limits/#mongodb-limit-BSON-Document-Size>` of 16 megabytes.
100+
- Pipeline stages have a memory limit of 100 megabytes by default. If required,
101+
you can exceed this limit by enabling the `AllowDiskUse
102+
<https://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/6.17/interfaces/AggregateOptions.html#allowDiskUse>`__
103+
property of the ``AggregateOptions`` object that you pass to the
104+
``aggregate()`` method.
