Connecting TypeScript backend in EC2 to PostgreSQL RDS

Question

I have a TypeScript backend running in a t3.micro EC2 instance. I'm using NPM as the package manager, and TypeORM to seed the database. I have a PostgreSQL database set up in RDS that I'm trying to connect to. In my local dev environment, I didn't have any problem seeding and running the backend and having it connect to RDS. However, in the EC2, it won't finish seeding when running ``` npm run seed ``` which runs the script 
```
ts-node -r tsconfig-paths/register src/seeder/seed.ts
```
Running ```npm run migration:run``` runs the script 
```
yarn run typeorm migration:run
```
and gives this error:
```
$ ts-node -r tsconfig-paths/register ./node_modules/typeorm/cli.js migration:run
Error during migration run:
TypeORMError: No connection options were found in any orm configuration files.
    at new TypeORMError (/home/ec2-user/backend/src/error/TypeORMError.ts:7:9)

error Command failed with exit code 1.

```

I'm not too experienced with this, but I've tried deleting node_modules, dist, yarn install, npm install. Any answers as to what I'm missing?

Hi,

Please check if the EC2 instance security group,  if the inbound and outbound rules allow traffic from RDS DB instance.This document can help setup communication between your RDS and EC2 instance
