When deploying MongoDB in production, it is strongly recommended that you use an SSL-enabled geo-distributed replica-set configuration for maximum security and availability. ScaleGrid provides you two options for setting up SSL.

One option is purchasing your own CA-signed SSL certificates and configuring them on the MongoDB server. If your application connects to the production database over a public network, do reach out to support@scalegrid.io to learn more about this.

But by default, we configure self-signed certificates for SSL when creating nodes for a new cluster. This avoids extra costs, and can be equally secure when correctly configured. But this does mean that your MongoDB driver needs some help to validate the certificate chain.
