How to connect vapor to mongodb atlas

Question

So I have a vapor \\ fluent app that works fine with local mongo instance, here's current mongo.json :

{
    "database" : "vapor",
    "port" : "27017",
    "host" : "127.0.0.1",
    "user" : "",
    "password" : ""
}

I've deployed a free MongoDB Atlas 3 replica set and I wonder how do I connect the app to it?

Answer 1

• Check that your mongod instance is listening on the necessary network interfaces
• Check that your firewall is open and you can connect to the mongod process from your application node
• Check that your mongod is secure, ie you can connect only with known credentials
• In the application's mongo.json:

"host": "replica_set_name/first_RS_node_address, second_RS_node_address, third_RS_node_address", 
"user": "your_user_name", 
"password": "wery_secret"

Answer 2

Fluent's MongoDB integration is using an outdated version of MongoKitten. Currently we're at MongoKitten 4. MongoKitten 1, which is being used in Fluent currently supports just a fraction of the features with a much worse performance.
