Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited documentation and examples for complex use cases

   Official documentation lacks detailed guides on advanced features like custom indexing or aggregation pipelines

2. 02

   Performance overhead due to Pydantic model validation

   Validation of documents using Pydantic can introduce latency, especially for large datasets

What it does well

• Asynchronous operations for non-blocking I/O

• Automatic validation of documents using Pydantic models

• Support for MongoDB's advanced features like indexes and aggregations
