I found this really helpful. Allot of other examples out there make assumptions about your existing stack/configuration. This was easy to follow, informative and required little prior configuration. Keep up the great work!

I rarely subscribe but after watching a few videos, I was compelled to not only leave likes but also subscribe. Keep up the great work. It takes time but you should be having millions of subscribers soon! Wish you all the best!

At 12:45, you're still passing the db username + password to the lambda function, partially defeating the purpose of using RDS proxy so that we don't have to pass the username + password to lambda function for extra security as stated earlier in your video. I assume this is just for demo purposes?

Thanks for your video. If I'm using RDS proxy then is it necessary to use mysql connection pooling at the application level?

This is an excellent lesson! Thank you!

This is so odd, I followed your guidance in the video. In my case I am doing user registration. When the user is first registered, the lambda handler behaves correctly with registering the user in the RDS database. The second time, I register the same user, which did not pass my validation that the user email has to not exist in the database. As such, the lambda handler returns the correct response that user did not get registered. But the odd thing here is that in my RDS db instance, there is another duplicate row containing the data of the user that was previously registered. Even though I did not make an save to database call, this is very odd. Even the console logs tell me that I did not go into the logic branch that would trigger a call to the RDS database. Note that I did these two request in Postman within the span of 20 seconds from each other. Any insight as to why this is the case?

if you choose IAM authentication when you create RDS proxy, that means you don't need to put mysql username and password in the lambda function?
