mongoError: Topology was destroyed

It seems to mean your node server’s connection to your MongoDB instance was interrupted while it was trying to write to it.

Take a look at the Mongo source code that generates that error

Mongos.prototype.insert = function(ns, ops, options, callback) {
    if(typeof options == 'function') callback = options, options = {};
    if(this.s.state == DESTROYED) return callback(new MongoError(f('topology was destroyed')));
    // Topology is not connected, save the call in the provided store to be
    // Executed at some point when the handler deems it's reconnected
    if(!this.isConnected() && this.s.disconnectHandler != null) {
      callback = bindToCurrentDomain(callback);
      return this.s.disconnectHandler.add('insert', ns, ops, options, callback);
    }

    executeWriteOperation(this.s, 'insert', ns, ops, options, callback);
}

This does not appear to be related to the Sails issue cited in the comments, as no upgrades were installed to precipitate the crash or the “fix”
