$bsonSize
New from version 8.0.1.
The $bsonSize operator in Amazon DocumentDB returns the size in bytes of a document when encoded as BSON.
Parameters
Example (MongoDB Shell)
The following example shows how to use the $bsonSize operator to return the BSON size of each document.
Create sample documents
db.items.insertMany([
{_id: 1, name: "a", tags: ["x"]},
{_id: 2, name: "ab", tags: ["x", "y", "z"]},
{_id: 3, name: "abc", tags: []}
]);
Query example
db.items.aggregate([
{ $project: { docSize: { $bsonSize: "$$ROOT" } } }
]);
Output
[
{_id: 1, docSize: 46},
{_id: 2, docSize: 65},
{_id: 3, docSize: 39}
]
Exact sizes depend on BSON encoding of the document fields.

try {
await client.connect();
const db = client.db('test');
const collection = db.collection('items');
const result = await collection.aggregate([
{ $project: { docSize: { $bsonSize: "$$ROOT" } } }
]).toArray();
console.log(result);
} finally {
await client.close();
}

try:
db = client['test']
collection = db['items']
result = list(collection.aggregate([
{'$project': {'docSize': {'$bsonSize': '$$ROOT'}}}
]))
