There is no reason to use a different port. Using a non-default port:

• Requires specific config to use mongosh/compass
• Catches me off-guard every time I switch context between old api and new api.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something - but when I try to interact with the database, I get "Prisma needs to perform transactions, which requires your MongoDB server to be run as a replica set." Which I didn't see before. Am I not doing something correct?

I feel like that might be the reason this is on a different port.

I did not get anything like that. Provided you still have the same connection string in your .env (like in the sample.env) with the ?directConnection=true, then you should not see that error.

Something something "so we could run them both at the same time and compare functionality"
