Error connecting to Amazon RDS (MySQL) from node-mysql

问题

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:

I fixed it. The issue was with the timeout setting in Lambda function configuration. It was set to 3 sec, but my script needed more than 10 seconds to execute. That's the reason I got the ETIMEDOUT error. I changed the setting to 30 seconds. Now no issues, everything works fine.
