AWS documentdb documentation change

Summary

Added new documentation page for the $min aggregation operator with MongoDB Shell, Node.js, and Python code examples

Security assessment

This change adds routine documentation for the $min aggregation operator in Amazon DocumentDB. The code examples include standard TLS connection parameters (tls=true, tlsCAFile) which are normal security best practices for database connections, but this is not documenting a new security feature or addressing a specific security vulnerability. The change appears to be standard feature documentation.

+Example (MongoDB Shell)Code examples
+
+# $min
+
+The `$min` operator returns the minimum value from an array of values. It can be used in aggregation stages to find the minimum value for a specified field across multiple documents.
+
+**Parameters**
+
+  * `expression`: The expression to evaluate. This can be a field path, a variable, or any expression that resolves to a value.
+
+
+
+
+## Example (MongoDB Shell)
+
+The following example demonstrates the usage of the `$min` operator to find the minimum value of the `age` field across multiple documents.
+
+**Create sample documents**
+    
+    
+    db.users.insertMany([
+      { name: "John", age: 35 },
+      { name: "Jane", age: 28 },
+      { name: "Bob", age: 42 },
+      { name: "Alice", age: 31 }
+    ]);
+
+**Query example**
+    
+    
+    db.users.aggregate([
+      { $group: { _id: null, minAge: { $min: "$age" } } },
+      { $project: { _id: 0, minAge: 1 } }
+    ])
+
+**Output**
+    
+    
+    [ { minAge: 28 } ]
+

+Node.js
+    
+    
+    
+    const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');
+    
+    async function findMinAge() {
+      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 users = db.collection('users');
+    
+      const result = await users.aggregate([
+        { $group: {
+            _id: null,
+            minAge: { $min: "$age" }
+          }}
+      ]).toArray();
+    
+      console.log(result);
+      client.close();
+    }
+    
+    findMinAge();
