Query Mongo/Redis directly from page inside getServerSideProps

[karkovich]

If I want to query with mongoose/Redis directly inside getServerSideProps

export const getServerSideProps = (context) => {
  // don't want to connect here!
  const doc = await  Model.findOne(....) // or mayby redis query
  return {
    props: {...}
  }
}

where should I connect to mongo/redis? I don't want to create connection every page.
I want to run the next.js server (npm start) and create the connection before the client visiting. so, each page could use the same connection?

You can connect there but make sure that every time you try to connect, return a connection that was already created, you can see how here: examples/with-mongodb-mongoose/pages/index.js
