Research direction
The issue requests a tutorial or command to automate RDS and VPC setup for Zappa applications. Investigate the linked zappa django utils repo for prior art. Examine Zappa's existing CLI commands and plugin system to understand how to add a new command. Consider using AWS SDK boto3 to create RDS instances and configure VPC. Review comments in the issue for further context. The goal is to provide a reusable command that simplifies the common pattern of deploying a serverless app with a database inside a VPC.
