Is Mongo storing dates as UTC?

Question

I am storing dates in Mongo DB using Mongoose, they should be in UTC, but I am seeing this using a Mongo IDE (Studio3T) - I take it that the +0000 does not mean UTC?

"eventDate" : ISODate("2019-12-27T17:01:00.000+0000"),

UTC is always +00:00, so where’s the difference? – deceze Dec 28 '19 at 19:24 — deceze, Dec 28 '19 at 19:24

+0000 means UTC according to ISO 8601. The letter Z is also possible to indicate UTC time.
