AWS documentdb documentation change

Service: documentdb · 2026-03-28 · Documentation low

File: documentdb/latest/developerguide/concat.md

Summary

Entire documentation page for the $concat aggregation operator was removed, including examples in MongoDB Shell, Node.js, and Python.

Security assessment

This change removes documentation about the $concat operator, which is used for string concatenation in aggregation pipelines. There is no evidence in the diff that this removal addresses a security vulnerability or weakness. The change appears to be routine documentation cleanup or restructuring, similar to the comment.md removal.

-# $concat
-
-The `$concat` aggregation operator in Amazon DocumentDB concatenates (or combines) multiple strings in a document to produce a single string that can be returned to the application. This reduces the work done in the application, as the string manipulation is performed at the database level.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `expression1`: The first string to concatenate.
-
-  * `expression2`: The second string to concatenate.
-
-  * `...`: Additional strings to concatenate (optional).
-
-
-
-
-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-In this example, we concatenate the first and last names of users to produce each person's full name.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.people.insertMany([
-      { "_id":1, "first_name":"Jane", "last_name":"Doe", "DOB":"2/1/1999", "Desk": "MSP102-MN"},
-      { "_id":2, "first_name":"John", "last_name":"Doe", "DOB":"12/21/1992", "Desk": "DSM301-IA"},
-      { "_id":3, "first_name":"Steve", "last_name":"Smith", "DOB":"3/21/1981", "Desk":"MKE233-WI"}
-    ])
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.people.aggregate([
-      { $project: { full_name: { $concat: [ "$first_name", " ", "$last_name"] } } }
-    ])
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    { "_id" : 1, "full_name" : "Jane Doe" }
-    { "_id" : 2, "full_name" : "John Doe" }
-    { "_id" : 3, "full_name" : "Steve Smith" }

-
-Node.js
-    
-    
-    
-    const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');
-    
-    async function concatenateNames() {
-      const client = await MongoClient.connect('mongodb://<username>:<password>@<cluster-endpoint>:27017/?tls=true&tlsCAFile=global-bundle.pem&replicaSet=rs0&readPreference=secondaryPreferred&retryWrites=false');
-      const db = client.db('test');
-    
-      const result = await db.collection('people').aggregate([
-        { $project: { full_name: { $concat: [ "$first_name", " ", "$last_name"] } } }
-      ]).toArray();
-    
-      console.log(result);
-    
-      await client.close();
-    }
-    
-    concatenateNames();
-
-Python
-    
-    
-    
-    from pymongo import MongoClient
-    
-    def concatenate_names():
-        client = MongoClient('mongodb://<username>:<password>@<cluster-endpoint>:27017/?tls=true&tlsCAFile=global-bundle.pem&replicaSet=rs0&readPreference=secondaryPreferred&retryWrites=false')
-        db = client['test']
-    
-        result = list(db.people.aggregate([
-            { '$project': { 'full_name': { '$concat': [ '$first_name', ' ', '$last_name' ] } } }
-        ]))
