MongoDB surprise point

The first argument is the singular name of the collection your model is for. Mongoose automatically looks for the plural version of your model name. For example, if you use

const MyModel = mongoose.model('Ticket', mySchema);

Then MyModel will use the tickets collection, not the ticket collection. For more details read the model docs.
