Adding timeout for mongoDB

Working with Data
1

We have some microservices which are using C# mongo driver and Node.js mongo driver. I found online (https://docs.mongodb.com/drivers/node/faq/) that we can set socketTimeoutMS and connectTimeoutMS.

Is it good idea to set these two for both .NET and node applications ? I am just concerned that if we don’t set those, the connections can stay there for a long time and number of connections might increase over the time which might cause the performance issues.

Please help!

Thanks

Hi @Jason_Widener1,

Usually the defaults on the driver side should be good for most workloads.

However, if you see issues with connections while using latest driver you can test changing those.

A healthy connection pool according to our best practices should reuse connections and therefore connections are expected to be mostly stable

Thanks
