amazing how trying to get a serverless function to talk to a standard database turns into a multi-day full-thread-page derail into networking crap

just open your rds to the internet. who cares. its earthquake data.

its not engineering if you're not using numbers

"sporadic" doesn't mean anything. neither does "acceptable".

i've worked for a handful of b2b saas companies that deploy some stuff into the customers aws account (even if just an iam role/policy to assume) and my general breakdown of clients was:
80% - did not use infra as code at all
10% - used terraform and are very tribal/opinionated/social-signal-y about it
10% - just used cloudformation
.0001% - used cdk or pulimi or ansible

so for aws only environments you dealt with 90% of your customers by using cloudformation, because the web-UI and background state are handled by amazon. introducing tf to their env would create the prereq for "where does it run and save state" which is just a total gently caress-that conversation to be avoided.
