Hello, I'm very new to coding so please bear with me 😅
I followed a tutorial to build a blog using a MEJN stack, and it would connect to Mongo ok locally but when I'm deploying on railway it won't seem to connect.
Looking at the docs, I can't seem to figure out what to do. Can you help? What info can I provide you with?

It seems be something to do with MongoStore, but it's not something I'm familiar with.
I try changing it based on a few comments on stackoverflow and medium, but can't resolve it

Actually I seem to have fixed that issuen now, but he app still crashes. It runs locally no problem, and the logs don't show any issues 🤔
