AWS Lambda function never calls the callback

问题

I've created a node lambda function that does a simple call to an Aurora database. When I test the function in the console, the query returns, I can see the results in the log, but the callback never seems to get called and so my lambda function times out. I can't figure out what the problem is. Hopefully someone here can point me to the problem.

var mysql = require("mysql");

module.exports.handler = function(event, context, cb) {
  console.log('start\n');
  var con = mysql.createConnection({
    ...
  });
  console.log('call data\n');

  con.query('SELECT * FROM Tags', function(err, rows) {
    console.log('Data received from Db:\n');
    console.log(rows);

    console.log('calling callback');

    cb(null, 'Success');

    console.log('callback called');
  });
  console.log('data called\n');
};

The resulting Cloudwatch log is as follows...

Thanks to this question...

Lambda Timing out after calling callback

I found the problem. the Node mysql module keeps the connection open until the server closes it unless it is explicitly closed by the handler logic.

So the node event loop never empties and so never returns the callback. In the above code, I did a ...

con.end();

before calling the callback and it worked.
