What steps will reproduce the bug?

Node.js process cannot resolve the DNS SRV records used by the mongodb+srv:// connection string.

import express from "express";
import connectDB from "./db.js";
 
const app = express();

app.use(express.json());
 
// Start server with error handling
app.listen(PORT, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error("Server startup error:", err.message);
    process.exit(1);
  }
  console.log(`Server is running on port ${PORT}`);
  connectDB();
});

npm run start

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Just need a express app with mongoose lib to connect mongoDB connection string

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?
