   ```javascript
   import express from "express";
   import mongoose from "mongoose";

   const app = express();

   mongoose
     .connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI || "mongodb://localhost:27017/mydatabase")
     .then(() => console.log("MongoDB connected"))
     .catch((err) => console.error("MongoDB connection error:", err));

   const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
   app.listen(PORT, () => {
     console.log(`Server is running on port ${PORT}`);
   });
   ```
