AWS documentdb documentation change

Service: documentdb · 2026-03-31 · Documentation low

File: documentdb/latest/developerguide/or-aggregation.md

Summary

Added comprehensive documentation for the $or aggregation operator in Amazon DocumentDB, including syntax, parameters, MongoDB shell example, and code examples in Node.js and Python with connection details

Security assessment

The change adds new documentation for a database aggregation operator ($or) with code examples that include secure connection parameters (TLS=true, tlsCAFile=global-bundle.pem). While this demonstrates security best practices for connecting to DocumentDB, there is no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability or incident. The documentation appears to be routine feature documentation with security-conscious examples.

+
+# $or
+
+The `$or` aggregation operator evaluates multiple expressions and returns `true` if at least one expression evaluates to `true`. It returns `false` only if all expressions are `false`.
+
+**Parameters**
+
+  * `expressions`: An array of expressions to evaluate.
+
+
+
+
+## Example (MongoDB Shell)
+
+The following example demonstrates using the `$or` operator to check if products meet any of multiple criteria.
+
+**Create sample documents**
+    
+    
+    db.items.insertMany([
+      { _id: 1, name: "Widget", price: 150, onSale: false },
+      { _id: 2, name: "Gadget", price: 45, onSale: false },
+      { _id: 3, name: "Tool", price: 200, onSale: true }
+    ]);
+
+**Query example**
+    
+    
+    db.items.aggregate([
+      {
+        $project: {
+          name: 1,
+          price: 1,
+          onSale: 1,
+          goodDeal: {
+            $or: [
+              { $lt: ["$price", 50] },
+              { $eq: ["$onSale", true] }
+            ]
+          }
+        }
+      }
+    ]);
+
+**Output**
+    
+    
+    [
+      { _id: 1, name: 'Widget', price: 150, onSale: false, goodDeal: false },
+      { _id: 2, name: 'Gadget', price: 45, onSale: false, goodDeal: true },
+      { _id: 3, name: 'Tool', price: 200, onSale: true, goodDeal: true }
+    ]
