I have recently deployed my strapi cms to heroku. and I have configured the project as mentioned in the doc of strapi deployment with heroku. After the deployment i can’t connect to my mongodb atlas in developmnet mode.
When i run ‘yarn run develop’ it gives me this error

yarn run v1.22.10
$ strapi develop

here’s my prject structures.
./config
--------development
-------------database.js
---------production
--------------database.js
–server.js
–database.js

./config/database.js looks this.

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({

  defaultConnection: 'default',

  connections: {

    default: {

      connector: 'mongoose',

      settings: {

        uri: env('DATABASE_URI'),

      },

      options: {

        ssl: true,

      },

    },

  },

});

it should be:
config/env/development
config/env/production

Also this error means the Domain name cant be resolved to an IP address.
If your mongo URI is https://mongoserveratlas.com
mongoserveratlas.com can’t resolved to an ip like 1.2.3.4

yeah i have a env folder and inside that i have development and production. I forgot while posting question. It doesn’t work still.

Error connecting to the Mongo database. getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND undefined,
doesn’t work like this => uri: env(‘DATABASE_URI’),
but work like this => uri: ‘DATABASE_URI’,
how i make env work with it

You need to set the DATABASE_URL node environment variable in Heroku
