Example

// Create username and password secret for DB Cluster
const secret = new rds.DatabaseSecret(this, 'AuroraSecret', {
  username: 'clusteradmin',
});

// The VPC to place the cluster in
const vpc = new ec2.Vpc(this, 'AuroraVpc');

// Create the serverless cluster, provide all values needed to customise the database.
const cluster = new rds.ServerlessCluster(this, 'AuroraCluster', {
  engine: rds.DatabaseClusterEngine.AURORA_MYSQL,
  vpc,
  credentials: { username: 'clusteradmin' },
  clusterIdentifier: 'db-endpoint-test',
  defaultDatabaseName: 'demos',
});

// Build a data source for AppSync to access the database.
declare const api: appsync.GraphqlApi;
const rdsDS = api.addRdsDataSource('rds', cluster, secret, 'demos');

// Set up a resolver for an RDS query.
rdsDS.createResolver({
  typeName: 'Query',
  fieldName: 'getDemosRds',
  requestMappingTemplate: appsync.MappingTemplate.fromString(`
  {
    "version": "2018-05-29",

    ]
  }
  `),
  responseMappingTemplate: appsync.MappingTemplate.fromString(`
    $utils.toJson($utils.rds.toJsonObject($ctx.result)[0])
  `),
});

// Set up a resolver for an RDS mutation.
rdsDS.createResolver({
  typeName: 'Mutation',
  fieldName: 'addDemoRds',
  requestMappingTemplate: appsync.MappingTemplate.fromString(`
  {
    "version": "2018-05-29",
