Friends are learning how to connect to mongodb over fastapi using the async motor driver.
I’ve highlighted two ways to connect to mongodb that people use.

one generic client to mongodb (for example, when running an application).
For each request, create an AsyncIOMotorClient() client usually in
@app.on_event(“startup”)
And close it in
@app.on_event(“shutdown”).
