Question - What are the limitations of the 32-bit versions of MongoDB?
Answer -
MongoDB uses memory-mapped files. When running a 32-bit build of MongoDB, the total storage size for the server, including data and indexes, is 2 GB. For this reason, we do not deploy MongoDB to production on 32-bit machines.
If we’re running a 64-bit build of MongoDB, there’s virtually no limit to the storage size. For production deployments, 64-bit builds and operating systems are strongly recommended.
