Lambda Function for Aurora MySQL Access

I need a Lambda function, built in a SAM project, that can access separate read and write Aurora MySQL endpoints using NodeJS. The SAM project should include an default AWS API and be able to respond with the database information.

The function should:
- Be capable of reading from a simple table within the Aurora MySQL database.

Error Handling:
- Log any errors it encounters during the read operation, but continue processing.

Ideal Skills:
- Proficiency in NodeJS
- Experience with AWS Lambda, SAM, and API Gateway
- Familiarity with Aurora MySQL
- Strong understanding of error handling mechanisms in serverless functions
