AWS Lambda/Nodejs is not executing mysql connection.query

Question

I have a simple lambda function to connect to mysql, but the connection.query is not executing. lambda has AWSLambdaVPCAccessExecutionRole access and it is part of the same vpc where rds is deployed. rds security group is added to lambda's configuration. log1 is the output that i always get. One time i got Log2. I am not sure what is going on. Can anyone pleas help?

    var mysql      = require('mysql');
    var connection = mysql.createConnection({
      host     : 'xxxxxxxx.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com',
      user     : 'admin',
      password : 'pass',
      database : 'dbname'
    });
    console.log('CONNECTION ' + connection);
    connection.connect();
    console.log('2 ');  
    exports.handler = async (event,context,callback) => {
      console.log('3 ');
      context.callbackWaitsForEmptyEventLoop = false;
        connection.query('SELECT emp_num from tag where emp_id=1', function (error, results, fields) {
          console.log('2 ');
          if (error) throw error;
          else
            callback(null, results)
          //console.log('The solution is: ', results[0].tag_num);
        });
        connection.end();
    };

Your handle is defined to be async and you didn't await to the promise. Possible solutions:

Add await call to your promise (i.e. await connection.query(...).promise())
Change the handler's signature to be non-async (i.e. exports.handler = (event,context,callback) => {...}) and then it will wait to the callback.
(Ugly workaround) Add context.callbackWaitsForEmptyEventLoop = true;, which tells AWS to wait for an empty event loop.
