+/**
+ * I was able to get xmysql to work on AWS lambda. This is just some docs on the process to help others.
+ * AWS setup notes:
+ * * The deploy uses serverless: https://serverless.com/framework/docs/getting-started/
+ * * The lambda function is accessed through API Gateway and access the RDS (mysql) database
+ * ** Make sure you deploy your API Gateway setup otherwise it won't be accessible.
+ * * The security setup:
+ * ** You need to put your lambda in a VPC
+ * ** The lambda role needs access to the VPC
+ * ** The RDS server has to be inside the VPC as well
+*
+ * Performance:
+ * * Requests to the API Gateway resolve in ~ 90ms
+ *
+ * Extra packages needed:
+ * * serverless-http
+ *
+ * More info on deploying this to lambda:
+ * * https://serverless.com/blog/serverless-express-rest-api/
+ */
