Question

Hello! I am trying to connect to my RDS database inside the Next.js backend as defined here.

My RDS database is not public and I'm trying to figure out how I could connect to it from my app. Does an amplify hosted app have visibility and access to other aws services to allow this or is that not possible? For context, I'm attempting to use the Prisma ORM to connect to the database. This is an example of how my project is structured.

If it's not possible for the app to connect to a private RDS database, would I need to make the database publicly accessible, and if so, how could I do that securely?

Thanks!

@ryanbender2
A private RDS database may be isolated with public network using VPC.
So this might be related to VPC access or applying VPC with Amplify hosting which registered as feature requests like #794 #765

Hi @ryanbender2, thank you for opening this issue, currently Amplify Hosting doesn't support connecting to a VPC and is a feature request that is being tracked on #794

If you are looking to make your database public in a secure way, I recommend that you review the RDS documentation, with some relevant links below:

• Scenarios for accessing a DB instance in a VPC
• Security in Amazon RDS

I'll go ahead and close this issue in favor of tracking this request on #794, if you have any additional questions please share them on that issue.

Thanks!
