Issue connecting to postgres on localhost

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to connect my lambda to a local instance of postgres. However, I’m getting the following error. I found this suggestion but that didn’t work either. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

{ Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5432
    at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:1018:11)
    at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1041:20)
    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1086:14)
  code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
  errno: 'ECONNREFUSED',
  syscall: 'connect',
  address: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 5432 }```
