Love this idea, but I wish there were an official integration between Lambda and RDS; I don't want to use DynamoDB.

The plan was always to add RDS integration, specifically Aurora support.

That plan hasn't changed! Just need to find more time for open-source projects :P

I believe to support RDS in Lambda you'll either need to dynamically add the Lambda instance's public IP address to your RDS security group (and remove it once complete) on each run or make the RDS instance open to a large number of AWS IP ranges^1

Hmmm, I'll look into this. Either way, I'm sure Amazon is aware that RDS in Lambdas is a good thing, and they will continue to make this and their other tools easier.

We'll get there!
