A Node.js library wrapping mysql2 to manage MySQL connections for serverless functions like AWS Lambda. It monitors and caps connection usage, cleans up zombie connections, retries with backoff, and adds async/await support with simplified transactions.

Use cases

• manage mysql connections in aws lambda functions
• avoid maxing out rds connections with concurrent serverless functions
• run mysql queries with async/await in node.js
• simplify mysql transactions in lambda handlers
• connect to aurora serverless from serverless apps
• retry mysql connections with backoff in serverless environments

When to choose

• you run mysql-backed APIs on AWS Lambda or other FaaS platforms
• you hit max_connections errors from many concurrent function instances
• you want simple transaction handling with mysql2 in serverless code

When to avoid

• you run a long-lived server where standard connection pooling suffices
• you use a non-MySQL database
• you need a full ORM rather than a connection manager
