Asked by 5abfc42589b946e79faf3d4681a650

I have a laravel app deployed in DO App platform but when I add my laravel app to trusted sources it could not connect to managed mongodb database anymore. However, when I open the DB for all connections, it connects and work successfully.

I am using laravel mongodb extension v5.1 to connect with mongodb. Anyone faced this problem and resolved it?

Hi there,

Are you truing to connect to the MongoDB cluster during the build stage?

If this is the case, keep in mind that during the build process your app would not have access to the Managed Database clusters in case that you have the trusted sources enabled.

What I would suggest is that if you have any steps that are connecting to your managed databases, you could move thise steps from the build process to the deploy process.

In general, the benefit of doing this is that, if your build is successful and the changes to the database are executed, but the deployment fails, then you might end up with the new database schema but with your old codebase which might not be backwards compatible.

Let me know how it goes!
