title: Connect to Aurora Serverless using EC2 as Proxy
body: <p>Not a duplicate of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51716530/aws-aurora-mysql-serverless-how-to-connect-from-mysql-workbench">AWS Aurora MySQL serverless: how to connect from MySQL Workbench</a>. </p>
  
  <p>Aurora Serverless doesn't support public connections yet.</p>
  
  <p>I used Cloud9 to create an EC2 instance on the same VPN as the database. I then connected to the database from the Cloud9 terminal.</p>
  
  <p>My (GraphQL Prisma) service that I'm attempting to host (on Zeit Now) only takes a HOST and a PASSWORD for configuration.</p>
  
  <p>How can I make the EC2 instance act as a proxy that I can treat exactly as a database endpoint. Can tunneling fully do that and I'm just bad at it?</p>
