RDSDataAPI adapter is not working - error: [BetterAuthError: Failed to initialize database adapter]

I am trying to hook my better auth against an AWS RDS database using the RDS Data API, which is a supported dialect by Kysely. However, after manually running database migration and verifying database itself is connectable, I run into this error that is not very informative: [BettertAuthError: Failed to initialize database adapter]. I looked at my set-up and felt like I followed the right instructions. Here is my set-up below import { Kysely } from 'kysely'; import { DataApiDialect } from 'kysely-data-api'; import { RDSData } from '@aws-sdk/client-rds-data'; interface Database { user: UserTable; session: SessionTable; account: AccountTable; verification: VerificationTable; } export const db = new Kysely<Database>({ dialect: new DataApiDialect({ mode: 'postgres', driver: { database: process.env.DB_NAME '', secretArn: process.env.DB_SECRET_ARN '', resourceArn: process.env.DB_CLUSTER_ARN || '', client: new RDSData(), // Use default credential }, }), }); export const auth = betterAuth({ database: db, ... });

@admin appreciate any pointers Resolved it, this is the change that solved it. I'm not sure if documentation has it: database: { db: db, type: 'postgres', }, but it has to go into a database wrapper instead of direct db
