do you mean you use jwt strategy instead of database?

easy way is just set strategy to database, so session id is stored in cookie instead.

Thank you, I am also using mongoose for for mongo db connection and creating modals. Is it optimal or I should use any other package for data base .and why does next js creates a new connection for every request ?

I am new to next js

I am using credentials provider

mongodb on ur api route is a server side module and transpiles every time its imported. I could be wrong but thats what i figured till now.

sorry im bit confused. i was talking about Auth.js as you mentioned JWT.
but now you talking about db connections.
