We have been connecting to mongo db from without lambda for the past year and sure you don't get single digit latency but r/w data happens under 30ms in most cases, we even use paramastore to pull all secrets and it's still without that time frame.

You can run your Lambda function within the same network as your other servers. It just appears as a new IP address inside your network and can call whatever you permit it to.

So but you mention you're connecting without lambda - so where are you connecting from?

he probably meant 'within' instead of 'without'. myself to use aws-serverless-express and connect my lambda hosted in us-east-virginia to a mlab (now Mongo Atlas) mongo database hosted in the same us-east-virginia amazon region
