@jeremydaly what's your approach towards RDS Proxy (https://aws.amazon.com/rds/proxy/)? Would you consider using both serverless MySQL and Proxy together or is that an overkill (as they kinda overlap in connection clean up functionality)

stephanelpaul commented

if your using aurora serverless mysql don't need the proxy, if your using aurora mysql or rds mysql yes use a proxy for serverless apps.

To be clear, it's not possible to use RDS Proxy with Aurora Serverless, per AWS docs:

You can't use RDS Proxy with Aurora Serverless clusters.

@Morindal do you use RDS? how did you solved your issue? facing something simillar here.

As per @stephanep says, you should use the RDS Proxy with RDS + serverless-mysql, BUT, as far as I understood, the question was more like wich of the following approaches/options to use:

option 1 would be: RDS + RDS Proxy + serverless-mysql as the best approach. (we need the proxy) or, option 2, that would be RDS + serverless-mysql (as it already cleans up the connection) wich is already enough and it's also a good approach too.

I'm starting using serverless-mysql and I'm having same doubts, wich option is best?

thanks advance in case one of you replies!

@Markkos89 What are the conclusions? Are you using serverless-mysql in conjunction with RDS-Proxy?

Hi there! In my case instead of using RDS, we moved to DynamoDB 😎

Afaik when using an RDS proxy there's no need in using serverless-mysql,
the proxy handles all the zombie connections logic.
