Amazon RDS MySQL instance performs very slow

Question

I have published my website on Amazon EC2 (Singapore region) and I have used MySQL RDS instance for the data storage. Everything is working very fine except performance.

Answer 1

Always should deploy source and rds in the same AWS availability zone for lower network latency and Should create a private endpoint link in VPC for RDS to connect RDS endpoint through the internal network instead of routing through the internet.
