python database operations postgreSQL

Recommended solution: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/vpc-rds.html

Coded a python script (as attached) for insert the biller details to the dev db, it works well per my testing on the dev ec2 instance (xxx-util-services). It use the "awslambda-psycopg2" library to for the Postgres connection.

Next step is to make the script to be a AWS lambda compatiable (with Lambda function handlers) and then package with the library into a AWS Lambda zip package.
