I'm always surprised at the lack of discussion around database connection reuse with AWS Lambda.
It's a pretty big deal that every single API call requires a new database connection. The only solutions I've seen so far are to run a separate app to interface with the database, or moving the connection outside of the handler (which still has issues).
Am I missing something or is everyone just really happy to use DynamoDB?
