Where are you hosting your MongoDB server? Make sure you put the proper link to connect to it in the environment variables.

Im also having this problem. Im hosting on MongoDB Atlas any my connect part in server.js in backend looks like this

mongoose.connect(
  "mongodb+srv://USER:PASS@cluster0.s67pyg1.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority",
  {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
  },
);

so I think it shouldn't be about proper link. I didn't use env variable because MONGOOSE_DB_LINK variable in connect gave me errors but replacing it with actual link didn't give any error.
