Java Lambda Function is getting timed out while connecting to Informix DB

I have a lambda function written in Java. I have written database connection logic in lambda function. My database is Informix DB , which is outside AWS. Whenever, lambda runs and try to connect to DB, it gets time-out every-time. Can we connect to database outside AWS via lambda function?

Solution

  • Issue is Resolved!!

    We were using hostname in our DB connection string. We now are using IP address and it is connecting now.

    connectionString = jdbc:informix-sqli://<IP Address>/xxx:xxx

    Thanks @madhead, @Chris Williams and all others for sharing their ideas! It really helped.
