I want to create an trigger which invoke the lambda function when there in any event(Insert, Update etc) in the RDS database table like in dynamoDB(For any database engine).
And also want to create this Lambda dynamically in Node js.
Thanks in advance.
This is only supported only with AWS RDS Aurora Database. Check the article Capturing Data Changes in Amazon Aurora Using AWS Lambda in AWS Database blog for an example use case.
You can Dynamically Create the Lambda function and Update the Aurora Stored Procedure with a Query to trigger the created Lambda function.

The project I'm working on requires creating an DB aurora (PostgreSQL) that will invoke my step function (After every insert to X table) and gets the result from the step function to invoke a lambda function.
So the question : How can I invoke (and sent data) step function in every insert to my X table? (I am open to any solutions)
RDS has a Lambda integration that you can use to send CRUD events from your PostreSQL database to Lambda. Your Lambda would then start execution of your Step Function with an SDK call.
Follow the steps in the AWS blog post Enable near real-time notifications from Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL by using database triggers, AWS Lambda, and Amazon SNS, but invoke Step Functions from your Lambda instead of SNS.
This is not possible to Invoke a step function directly from Aurora DB, the step function can be invoked by:
AWS Lambda, using the StartExecution call.
Amazon API Gateway
Amazon EventBridge
AWS CodePipeline
AWS IoT Rules Engine
AWS Step Functions
There is a way to Invoke a lambda from an Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster(Invoking an AWS Lambda function from an Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster), but it is not easy, you can follow the steps in the article, and in the Lambda step, you can Invoke your step function, your solution can be:
Aurora > Lambda > Step Function > Lambda
And not:
Aurora > Step Function > Lambda
Even if you are using a DynamoDB stream, you need to Invoke a Lambda first, you can't Invoke a step function directly.
I'm currently trying to create a system where a AWS Lambda function accesses a RDS database and query a column containing dates and search for a specific date and if it is found to pull data from the database to be used in the lambda function as a variable.
Apologies if this is a bit vague.O
I think you'll find tons of tutorials to do that online, but here are the main points:
Your Lambda should be deployed in a VPC, and you attach a VPC security group to it.
The SG attached to your RDS needs to allow your Lambda to access it.
Your Lambda needs to use a MySQL/PSQL/... to query your RDS database.
The credentials to access your DB should be passed to your Lambda function using environment variables and/or Systems Manager Parameter Store and/or Secrets Manager.
In any cases, your DB_PASSWORD should never be passed in plain text.
Be careful of some Lambda limitation, specifically the 15mins timeout in case your query takes a long time to run.
I have a problem with my AWS RDS. The instance that I use is Postgres. So, currently, I want to write a lambda function that will validate data for the each record. But, I can not find any solution for to create a trigger when a new record inserted. Could somebody help me with this problem?
I guess follwoing links would work for you. generally I have never used Lambda trigger on rds.

I am using "serverless" framework (AWS lambda functions and RDS database). When inserting data to RDS database, I also want to insert it into Algolia database (to sync the two databases), is it possible to call a lambda function when a record is inserted into RDS? (maybe event subscription?)
This only supported for AWS RDS aurora databases.
lets read this article.
How do I create an AWS Lambda that triggers when a record is inserted into a table of an Aurora DB instance?
I do not know how to associate the Lambda to it.
When I searched on the net, the Lambda mostly triggered to a S3 or a DynamoDB events etc.
The stored procedures that you create within your Amazon Aurora databases can now invoke AWS Lambda functions.
This is a brand new feature... http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Aurora.Lambda.html
As you said, DynamoDB, S3, and other services can be natively integrated with Lambda but there is no native Aurora integration.
You could write to a Kinesis stream from your application whenever you insert something into your database but you will have problems with the order of the events because Kinesis does not participate in the database transaction.
You could also send all write request to Kinesis and insert them into your Aurora database from a Lambda function to get rid of the ordering issue. But you will need an Event Sourcing / CQRS approach to model your data.
Here's the list of supported event sources. If you want to keep it simple, invoke the Lambda function from the application that inserts data into Aurora, but only after the database transaction is successfully committed. There's likely an AWS SDK for whatever language your application is written in. For example, here's docs on the Lambda API for Javascript.
It is possible now even with Aurora (PostreSQL) as per latest updates from December 2020
