    Hey Albert, thanks for sharing this recommendation! What kind of scenarios would having this greater document size limit help you?

    The reason MongoDB maintains a max doc size is so to ensure a large amount of documents of a large size don't induce a resource bottleneck - either with an excessive amount of RAM or, during networking, an excessive amount of bandwidth.

    Through an improved data modelling, our users who have needed larger document size limits have been able to break up these large documents into smaller ones while still maintaining their use cases.
