Why is it trying to connect to localhost? You sure you have used mongodb uri correctly?

Mongo host should be something like *.railway.internal or *.proxy.rlwy.net , make sure you have a variable for mongo uri that reference to the private mongo url ${MongoDB.MONGO_URL}

Did you find anything wrong with my application.properties

Found the solution
You just have to change all spring.data.mongodb.* to spring.mongodb.* on your application.properties file
I added spring.mongodb.database to the properties because i got "Database must not empty" error while debugging
I also create a PR if you want to directly apply the changes from my test branch
