Summary

The MongoDB 3.2 aggregation enhancements bring significant improvements to the data processing capabilities of the database, particularly in terms of joins and other aggregation operations. The new $lookup stage allows for left-outer joins, enabling users to link documents from different collections based on a common field. This enables more complex data analysis and reporting, such as finding the most expensive house sale by year and location. The enhancements also include new standard deviation aggregation operators and support for storing intermediate results in a new collection. To fully take advantage of these features, users are encouraged to experiment with the software, provide feedback through the MongoDB 3.2 bug hunt or commenting on this post, and explore the MongoDB 3.2 release notes and webinar for more information.
