 ```typescript
-import { connectDB, getDBStatus } from "devdad-express-utils";
+import { connectDB, getDBStatus, resetDBConnection } from "devdad-express-utils";
 
 // Connect to MongoDB (ensure MONGO_URI is set in environment)

+console.log(status); // { isConnected: true, readyState: 1, host: '...', name: '...', retryCount: 0 }
+
+// Manually reset and retry (useful after Docker container restarts)
+await resetDBConnection();
 ```
 
+#### Environment Variables
+
+- **MONGO_URI**: MongoDB connection string (required)
+- **DB_MAX_RETRIES**: Maximum connection retry attempts (default: 10)
+- **DB_RETRY_INTERVAL**: Initial retry interval in milliseconds (default: 3000)
+- **NODE_ENV**: Set to 'production' to exit after max retries, 'development' to keep process alive
+
+#### Retry Behavior
+
+- **Exponential backoff**: Retry intervals increase exponentially (3s → 6s → 12s → 24s → 30s max)
+- **Random jitter**: Adds up to 1 second of random delay to prevent thundering herd
+- **Docker-friendly**: Higher default retry count (10) accommodates container startup times
+- **Development mode**: Process stays alive after max retries for manual recovery
+- **Production mode**: Process exits after max retries to allow container restart
