$bucket stage

Learn $bucket stage in MongoDB through the exact construct, a dedicated example, a boundary case, and a mastery check.

12 min read • Intermediate

$bucket stage is an atomic MongoDB lesson inside Aggregation Advanced. The example uses the specific syntax, command, API, instruction, or language rule named by this lesson.

Study the construct itself, then change one relevant input and predict the result before running it. That keeps this lesson focused on $bucket stage rather than on generic MongoDB syntax.

Topic-specific example

mongodb-06-03.js
javascript Try It Live
db.products.aggregate([{ $bucket:{ groupBy:"$price",boundaries:[0,50,100,500],default:"other",output:{count:{$sum:1}} } }])
Edge case / engineering note

Test $bucket stage with an empty result, NULL/missing value, duplicate key, or concurrent operation where relevant; database behavior should be verified at the boundary shown by this example.
