As others have pointed out, connecting to RDS from Lambda is actually pretty trivial by having them run in the same VPC. We actually came up against an issue where our Lambda function needed access to RDS but also to the outside World which meant some extra hurdles to jump [1] but overall our experience with Lambda has been a positive one.

I don't think we'll be considering a fully serverless architecture anytime soon due to cold-start times, but it's awesome for anything outside of the user request/response loop or internal microservices where response time is perhaps not such of a problem.
