It depends on sqlalchemy and aurora-data-api, the underlying DB-API 2.0 client.\n\nThe package solves a specific problem for AWS Lambda and other serverless environments: traditional database drivers maintain stateful TCP connection pools that break across Lambda freeze-thaw cycles, while the Data API uses stateless HTTP tunneling. It eliminates the need to open database ports to Lambda's IP pool and enables role-based authentication via AWS IAM, removing the need for Lambda code to handle credentials directly.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building on AWS Lambda or another serverless platform with Aurora Serverless and need SQLAlchemy integration. The package has low install friction and no known vulnerabilities. However, dormant maintenance (last release 958 days ago) means you should verify compatibility with your SQLAlchemy version and test thoroughly before production use, especially if you rely on recent SQLAlchemy features."},"id":"sqlalchemy-aurora-data-api","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-aurora-data-api","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-aurora-data-api.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlalchemy-aurora-data-api/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-12-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sqlalchemy-aurora-data-api","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"An AWS Aurora Serverless Data API dialect for SQLAlchemy"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":98142,"position":13100,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.0"}
