MongoDB Atlas Checker

Name: mongodb-atlas-checker
Author: shipshitdev

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_URI exists (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

mongoose or mongodb package 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,
}
