I am trying to connect to my Amazon RDS (MySQL) instance from a nodejs code hosted in Lambda using the "felixge/node-mysql" package. I need help to find out what I am doing wrong. I am getting "connect ETIMEDOUT" error. My code is hosted in Lambda and both Lamda and RDS are of the same account and region. I have also attached the RDSFullAccess Policy to the IAM role. RDS instance is also accessible from all IPs(no whitelist/blacklisted IPs).
At the same time, I am able to connect from my local MySQL Workbench with same credentials.
Here is my code:
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
host : 'xxxxxxxx.crhmtrscnbgt.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com',
user : 'my_user',
password : 'my_passowrd',
database : 'my_db',
port : '3306',
debug : true
});
connection.connect(function(err) {
if (err) {
console.error('error connecting: ' + err.stack);
return;
}
console.log('connected as id ' + connection.threadId);
});
var query = "SELECT * FROM users";
connection.query(query, function(err, rows) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(rows);
});
Output is:
