RDS Proxy: Database menu is empty, can't create proxy


I need my lambda to connect to an Aurora Serverless cluster, through an RDS Proxy. But I can't create the proxy because the Database dropdown menu - in the section under Target group configuration - is empty.

I have several databases. I have access to the databases. They simply don't appear. The form is unusable.

Solution

  • The problem ended up being that RDS proxy doesn't work with Aurora Serverless databases. This is stated directly in the docs, but I missed it:

    You can't use RDS Proxy with Aurora Serverless clusters.
