Description

New Feature / Enhancement Checklist
Current Limitation

MongoDB offers a performance-optimized way for bulk operations, see BulkOperationBase. Parse Server doesn't seem to take advantage of that.

Feature / Enhancement Description

Add support for bulk operations, most importantly write (insert / update) operations. Maybe the existing /batch endpoint can take advantage of that API, or a new API needs to be introduced.

Research direction

Start with the existing /batch endpoint and the MongoDB BulkOperationBase API linked in the issue. Determine whether bulk insert and update support belongs in /batch or requires a new API. Done means Parse Server uses MongoDB bulk operations for the requested write paths with appropriate behavior and coverage.
