MongoDB Atlas Checker
When to Use
- Verifying MongoDB Atlas backend setup
- Checking connection string configuration
- Validating environment variable setup
- Troubleshooting database connection issues
- Auditing database setup before deployment
Quick Checklist
1. Environment Variables
- [ ]
MONGODB_URIexists (not hardcoded) - [ ] Uses
mongodb+srv://protocol (required for Atlas) - [ ] Includes database name
- [ ] Includes
retryWrites=true&w=majority - [ ] No credentials in
.env.example
2. Connection String Format
mongodb+srv://USERNAME:PASSWORD@CLUSTER-HOST/DATABASE?retryWrites=true&w=majority
3. Driver Installation
- [ ]
mongooseormongodbpackage installed - [ ] In dependencies (not devDependencies)
4. Connection Setup
- [ ] Singleton pattern (Next.js)
- [ ]
MongooseModule.forRoot()(NestJS) - [ ] Error handling implemented
5. Atlas Configuration
- [ ] IP whitelist configured
- [ ] Database user exists with permissions
- [ ] SSL/TLS enabled (default with
mongodb+srv://)
Common Issues
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Missing MONGODB_URI | Add to .env.local or .env |
| Wrong protocol | Use mongodb+srv:// not mongodb:// |
| Multiple connections (Next.js) | Use singleton pattern |
| Connection timeout | Check IP whitelist in Atlas |
| Auth failed | Verify credentials, URL-encode special chars |
Recommended Connection Options
{
retryWrites: true,
w: 'majority',
maxPoolSize: 10,
serverSelectionTimeoutMS: 5000,
bufferCommands: false,
}
