Question

const clientEncryption = new ClientEncryption(unencryptedClient, { kmsProviders, keyVaultNamespace, });

// genrate encyption key
const dataKeyId = await clientEncryption.createDataKey("local").then(() =\> {
  console.log("Encyption key genrated");
});

const schemaMap = {
  \[\`${dbName}.${collName}\`\]: {
    properties: {
      sensitiveField: {
        encrypt: {
          keyId: \[dataKeyId\],
          bsonType: "string",
          algorithm: "AEAD_AES_256_CBC_HMAC_SHA_512-Deterministic",
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

const encryptedClient = new MongoClient(URL, {
  useUnifiedTopology: true,
  autoEncryption: {
    keyVaultNamespace,
    kmsProviders,

try {
  await encryptedClient.connect();

27020 is a default port for mongocryptd binary. See description in #2 here. However, I would recommend using shared library instead mongocryptd. See my answer here in particular part about cryptSharedLibPath
