rds proxy code doesn't work with mysql8

you have to update cdk in order to specify the mysql version

    const rdsInstance = new rds.DatabaseInstance(this, 'DBInstance', {
      engine: rds.DatabaseInstanceEngine.mysql({
		  version: rds.MysqlEngineVersion.VER_5_7_30
	  }),

also the secret has changed to secrets andis now an array:

    // Create an RDS Proxy
    const proxy = rdsInstance.addProxy(id+'-proxy', {
        secrets: [databaseCredentialsSecret],
        debugLogging: true,
        vpc,
        securityGroups: [dbConnectionGroup]
    });

also you need to specify the region in the bin/the-rds-proxy.ts

new TheRdsProxyStack(app, 'TheRdsProxyStack',{
    env: {region: "us-east-1"}
});

my pleasure, thank you for the extensive examples. extremely helpful

I updated and deployed both the Typescript and the Python version incorporating the first two changes. I deploy from cloud9 and don’t need to manually specify a region in the setup. That’s maybe something that needs better documented by the cdk team to say when/why you would do it manually vs coming in through aws profile
