AWS lambda sending sns message to phone number - node.js

Question

I have a lambda function running node.js The function makes database calls and sends a text message via sns. It has the following structure
the functions -> index.js file looks like this
async function sendTextMessage(message, phoneNumber) {
try {
console.log("hitSendFunction");
const sns = new AWS.SNS();
const params = {
Message: message,
MessageStructure: "string",
PhoneNumber: phoneNumber
};
//remember phone number must have +1 before it.
return await sns.publish(params).promise();
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}
module.exports = {
sendTextMessage
};
that function is than called in the main index.js file:
const database = require("./db");
const { sendTextMessage } = require("./functions");
const AWS = require("aws-sdk");
AWS.config.region = "us-east-1";
exports.handler = async function (event, context) {
try {
console.log("hit");
const result = await database.query("call getTicker()");
const data = result[0][0];
const currentProjectEndDate = new Date(
data.currentProjectEndDate
).getTime();
const now = new Date().getTime();
console.log("data.currentProjectEndDate", data.currentProjectEndDate);
const runningHot =
data.jobsInQueue > 0 && currentProjectEndDate <= now && data.textSent < 1;
if (runningHot) {
const numbers = ["+1435994****"];
for (let i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
let number = numbers[i];
console.log("number", number);
let messageResult = await sendTextMessage(
"The CE Bot is running hot from lambda",
number
);
console.log("messageResult", messageResult);
}
await database.query("call insertIntoTextSent()");
console.log("yes");
}
} catch (error) {
console.log("this was the error", error);
}
The database calls work correctly but the textMessage function just hangs and times out. The lambda function has the following permissions attached to it:
Finally even though I do not think it is needed as the db code is working here is what the db -> index.js file looks like:
const mysql = require("mysql");
const util = require("util");
const awsConfig = {
host: process.env.RDS_HOST,
user: process.env.RDS_USER,
password: process.env.RDS_PASSWORD,
database: process.env.RDS_DATABASE
};
const connection = mysql.createConnection(awsConfig);
connection.query = util.promisify(connection.query.bind(connection));
connection.end = util.promisify(connection.end.bind(connection));
module.exports = connection;
I am not quite sure where I am going wrong here. Can someone point me in the right direction?

You can just send it via sms in sns just type in the phone number
