I have the following code in Lambda that calls an API via Axios that returns a dummy JSON output. This code works perfectly from my local machine, however, when running from Lambda, it always times out when executing the Axios call:

const axios = require('axios');
async function testAxios() {

  let result;
  console.log("START");
  try {
    let response = await axios.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1");
    result = await response.data;
  } catch (errors) {
    result = "ERROR: " + errors;
  }
  console.log("END: " + JSON.stringify(result));
  return result;

}

This is the expected output I get when running from my local machine:

START
END: {"userId":1,"id":1,"title":"delectus aut autem","completed":false}
{"statusCode":200,"headers":{"Access-Control-Allow-Origin":"*"},"body":"{"userId":1,"id":1,"title":"delectus aut autem","completed":false}"}

This is the unexpected output I get when running from Lambda where it times out after 10 seconds:

START RequestId: d9ad29e3-858a-47a8-a86d-35fc16704b55 Version: $LATEST
2024-05-08T21:24:00.420Z    d9ad29e3-858a-47a8-a86d-35fc16704b55    INFO    START

Other information:

• Nodejs: 18.x
• Axios: 1.6.8
• VPC Inbound/Outbound: All (0.0.0.0/0)
• Lambda timeout: 10 seconds (I’ve tried 30 seconds but get the same results)

Any suggestions to resolve this would be appreciated!
