Description
We are using loopback-connector-mongodb@5.0.1 version to connect to mongo db . Our database admins are reporting that our application is using more connections and it is constantly growing. When they report issues , we just restart our applications and connection use count drops drastically (from 800 active connections to 500 connections on mongodb).
We need to implement connection pooling in loopback, but not sure on what settings needs to be done on the datasource.json file. Can you please give some suggestions.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the connection settings available to loopback-connector-mongodb@5.0.1 and how they are represented in datasource.json. Determine whether the requested pooling behavior requires documentation or a code change; done should mean the required settings or implementation are clearly identified and connection growth is addressed.
