I am following the following tutorial to configure MongoDB as a stateful set within my Kubernetes cluster on GCP.

https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/cloud-mongodb-statefulset/index.html?index=..%2F..index#0

I am able to access the database using "kubectl exec -ti mongo-0 mongo" as shown in the tutorial. However, my Node JS- Mongoose Application is unable to connect to it throwing the following error

MongoDB connection error: { MongooseError [MongooseServerSelectionError]: connect ECONNREFUSED 10.16.0.22:27017

app.js connection code is as follows

mongoose.connect(
  process.env.MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING,
  {
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
    useNewUrlParser: true,
  }
);
mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;
let db = mongoose.connection;
db.on("error", console.error.bind(console, "MongoDB connection error:"));

And Environment variable is as follows in deployment file.

env:
  - name: MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING
    value: "mongodb://mongo-0.mongo,mongo-1.mongo,mongo-2.mongo:27017/test"
