Limiting results in MongoDB
The .find() method returns all the matching documents that satisfy the provided query criteria. While this course's database is relatively small, real-world databases can contain thousands or even millions of documents. Imagine receiving thousands of documents, where only the top 10 records were required. To resolve this, MongoDB provides two methods to control the number of documents: .limit() and .skip() methods.
