[FIXED] Why is mongodb atlas using 25 connections per 1 active client

Issue

I am currently connecting to mongodb atlas using the following code

exports.connectToMongoose = async() =>{
try{
    const result = await  mongoose.connect(process.env.mongodbURL,{
        useNewUrlParser: true,
        useUnifiedTopology: true,
        useCreateIndex:true,
        useFindAndModify:false
    })
}

const connectionResult = await mongooseConnection.connectToMongoose();

Although I am the only one user logged In . I can see that mongodb atlas is using 25 connections from the 500 available. Why does each client uses 25 connections and does that mean the mongodb atlas can only handle 20 concurrent clients

Solution

db.serverStatus().connections This may be helpful to get the total connections from your clients to your server or primary node in your cluster
