There's some limitations with both lambda and the API gateway that you need the be aware of -

API gateway has a fixed timeout of 10 seconds that you can't currently extend. Should be fine for most use cases, but something to be aware of if you have any functions that will take longer.

Lambda functions cannot return binary data.

Another big limitation is that you currently can't run lambdas in a VPC, so using Lambda with RDS is pretty much off the table if you don't want your database to be open to the world.
