Summary

In this chapter, you started your journey with an introduction to the concept of sharding and then covered the constraints that apply to aggregations when running in a sharded cluster. You also looked at aggregation performance optimization tips, which are even more critical while executing pipelines in sharded clusters.

Now you know the principles and approaches for increasing your effectiveness in developing aggregation pipelines. The next part of this book will cover practical examples to solve common data manipulation challenges grouped by different data processing requirements.
