Bufferizing data from stream in nodeJS for perfoming bulk insert

How to bufferize efficiently in nodeJS on events from a stream to bulk insert instead of unique insert per record received from the stream. Here’s pseudo code I’ve got in mind:

// Open MongoDB connection

mystream.on('data', (record) => {
   // bufferize data into an array
   // if the buffer is full (1000 records)
   // bulk insert into MongoDB and empty buffer
})

mystream.on('end', () => {
   // close connection
})

Does this look realistic? Is there any possible optimization? Existing libraries facilitaties that?

I ended up with a no dependency solution.

const { MongoClient } = require("mongodb")
const url = process.env.MONGO_URI || "mongodb://localhost:27019";
const connection = MongoClient.connect(url, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true })
    Promise.resolve(connection)
        .then((db) => {
            const dbName = "databaseName";
            const collection = 'collection';
            const dbo = db.db(dbName);

            let buffer = []

            stream.on("data", (row: any) => {
                buffer.push(row)
                if (buffer.length > 10000) {
                    dbo.collection(collection).insertMany(buffer, {ordered: false});
                    buffer = []
                }
            });

            stream.on("end", () => {
                // insert last chunk
                dbo.collection(collection).insertMany(buffer, {ordered: false})
                    .then(() => {
                        console.log("Done!");
                        db.close();
                    })
                
            });
            stream.on("error", (err) => console.log(err));

        })
        .catch((err) => {
            console.log(err)
        })
