The API I just deployed using this connects to a regular old Aurora MySQL instance using the standard MySQL driver.

It’s a standard CRUD REST API used by our website.

The only thing slow is infamous cold start time when running within a VPC because it has to create an ENI.

AWS pinky promised they were going to fix this soon.
