01 - Connecting

You can define your database parameters inline with your action.

However the recommended place to define your database is in the globals section.

  • This will enable you to reuse connections where possible over different configuration files
  • If you are running in self-hosted mode ensure you do not have different database connections using the same identifier
    • eg. do not have multiple different connections defined as main or other
    • if they are the same connection then it is okay to have the same name
  • You can also supply your connection string via environment variables, a secrets system, or even use our managed variables and secrets system

Connecting with a connection string​

global:
  databases:
    main: 
      driver: mongodb
      conn_string: |
        mongodb+srv://someUser:somePass@bob-perf.hello.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority&appName=my-test
