Hey there!
To connect to MongoDB you would need to add
"ext-mongodb": "*"to therequire { ... }section of your composer.json. You would then need to runcomposer updateto regenerate your composer.lock file.DigitalOcean MongoDB instances require connecting with a CA certificate. You can use bind variables to inject it by creating an environment variable like:
CA_CERT=${db-mongodb-nyc1-12345.CA_CERT}.Hope this helps! Nate
