A serverless permit API opens many short database connections and forces the city to run a larger RDS instance than query CPU warrants. How can RDS Proxy help cost?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Hundreds of brief Lambda handshakes can bully you into an oversized RDS just for connections. RDS Proxy pools those chats so a smaller instance can breathe—and cost less.
Full Explanation
RDS Proxy maintains a connection pool and multiplexes application connections to the database, reducing connection storm pressure common with Lambda. That can enable rightsizing to a smaller instance class when CPU/memory were oversized mainly for connection handling. Proxy does not eliminate the database, force dedicated hosts, or convert engines to DynamoDB.
