My DB is in a VPC, what do I put for the connection string?

Anything new on this? I'm interested to know the solution

What kind of database? Is it reachable via a public IP or private network only?

Aurora Serverless, private network only

This is unsupported at the moment. We are about to release static egress IPs, but we don’t support this setup yet. It’s possible to use the platform with standard Aurora because it can be reachable from public internet, but not with Aurora serverless due to the fact it’s only reachable via private network. I will take note of this question/request and I might follow up if we start looking into solutions.

ideally the proxy would be a lambda enclosed in a CDK construct that I could deploy myself

@Alberto Perdomo Aurora Serverless as well yes

no I really just want to do anything I can to reduce lambda cold start times and the connection setup and library loading is slow. I’d rather use the aurora data API via prisma though.
