Like the title asks, im wondering if the only way of connecting to my aws hosted rds through aws lambda function in java is through a jdbc connection?
Does the aws sdk provide a way of doing this, querying the data and returning results without the need for jdbc?
I've looked through the aws api documentation but nothing is jumping out at me in terms of making a connection through the aws sdk alone, it seems to provide functions on more admin type tasks. .
The reason I ask is in the interest of speed, the jdbc connection takes a few seconds for a connection, but thought if the aws sdk could connect it may be quicker?
