I spent some time today trying to replace pg but I ran into an issue. When using an rds proxy with iam authentication, it seems to repeatedly retry authentication and eventually my lambda functions time out. If I switch to using regular credentials it works fine. Using the exact same options with pg+iam authentication also works fine which leads me to believe it's an issue with this project.

I'll open an issue on GitHub tomorrow.

I called my bank the other day and they asked over the phone for my password. This isn't a bank I often use, I only currently have a loan through them so I've never used the login on the website. I said I don't remember setting a password. They gave me a hint about the characters in the password and I was able to remember the password based on their hint. I verbally said the password character by character and they confirmed it. This is an example of how to not handle passwords in 2016.
