Had an interview this week where the team uses Lambda with RDS. They were really impressed when I asked them if they were using RDS proxy. Thanks for the video. Great channel 👍

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi Sean, Thats fantastic to hear. I hope you get the job and able to apply some of the things you've learned to your daily life :)

[@husamburhan6]

[@BeABetterDev]

Thanks so much Mary! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@shamrozanjum]

Watched a few videos but was finding it hard to understand. However, this has answered my question. Thank you

[@ejbjms]

What a great explanation!

[@BeABetterDev]

Glad it was helpful!

[@titiloxx]

Very good video bro!

[@BeABetterDev]

Thanks Agustin! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@yusefmohamadi1341]

Thank you Daneil for the video. I'm wondering how could it be possible to have sharding plus RDS sharding?

[@jahangeerahmed11]

Do I have to change in code level in order to apply proxy on existing lambda functions which uses RDS (MySQL)?

[@jamshaedfared]

I have a question, if we want to divided reads/writes in aurora cluster , Can we divide it by using RDS proxy ?

[@jorgepadilla1048]

And when you need only to query (read) RDS sends the consult to the readers instances?

[@gautamferrari]

It’s called connection pooling and automatic failover

[@BeABetterDev]

Thanks Gotham.

[@MuckCityProductions]

👍

[@TheStrongEgypt]

Can i use it with ethereum mining to get my ping to pool prfect 1ms or 2ms ?

[@haipingwang7075]

Seems like the Proxy is just a combination of ALB and AutoScaling group!

[@wweirii3648]

Good stuff-recommend you add some animation, particularly when talking about new things, to better convey the process.
