Not 100% parallel, but I was debugging a slow endpoint earlier today in our app which uses Mongo/mongoose.
I removed a $lookup (the mongodb JOIN equivalent) and replaced it with, as Prisma does, two table lookups and an in-memory join
p90 response times dropped from 35 seconds to 1.2 seconds

There is no "MongoDB JOIN equivalent" because MongoDB is not a relationalal database.
It's like calling "retrieve table results sequentially using previous table's result-set" a JOIN; it's not.
