I am very close to getting my mongodb database connected in the App Platform. I built up the env value like this
mongodb+srv://${db-mongodb.USERNAME}:${db-mongodb.PASSWORD}@${db-mongodb.HOSTNAME}/testing?authSource=admin&replicaSet=db-mongodb&tls=true&tlsCAFile=${db-mongodb.CA_CERT}
I get this error Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----’ which makes me think there is another thing like tlsCAFile but to point to a string instead, as the App Platform is giving me this CA_CERT through the ENV. I think it will work once I get this.
Thanks

Hi there,
Indeed, in order to connect to MongoDB, you need to specify the location of the certificate file rather than passing the certificate as a string to the connection string.
One way to do that is to create the file in your app’s code, before initializing the MongoDB connection. Here is an example for MongoDB:
Hope that this helps!
Best,
