How to handle connection in aws lambda, in nodejs I could manage connection by following this

I wrote a tutorial on how to connect to MongoDB Atlas from AWS Lambda, including using AWS credentials: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/php-library/current/tutorial/aws-lambda/#aws-credentials

Bref provides the PHP runtime with and mongodb extension.

To connect to Atlas, you may use a connection string provided by the Atlas UI:

'connections' => [

    'mongodb' => [

        'driver' => 'mongodb',

        'dsn' => 'mongodb+srv://cluster0.example.mongodb.net/?authSource=%24external&authMechanism=MONGODB-AWS&retryWrites=true&w=majority',

        'database' => 'sample_mflix',

    ],

],

My point is managing the connection outside the handler, in nodejs it is advisable to put it outside so that connection will be persistent or else it will always create a new connection, in high concurrency workload atlas connection limitation will be easily reach the threshold

Whatever the environment, PHP will initialize a connection at the start of the request and close it at the end.
Unless you are using a "worker" mode. But be careful, because if the lambda is frozen for too long the connection will be lost. I never tested with Laravel.

Thanks so if there is 1000 concurrent then php will open 1000 connection and close it. I think Ill just keep using fargate

I don't think using Fargate or any other environment makes any difference. It's the mongodb PHP extension that handles the connection.

So you mean mongodb php doesnt maintain a connection like mongodb nodejs pooling
