Sails app is unable to connect amazon-RDS 8.4.8

I can connect successfully using MySQL Workbench. I can connect from a Node.js + Express.js app.
But my Sails.js app fails to connect
Error :
error: A hook (orm) failed to load! Exception: getConnectionfailed ("failed"). Could not acquire a connection to the database using the specified manager. Additional data: Error: connect ETIMEDOUT at Connection._handleConnectTimeout ... ... code: 'ETIMEDOUT', syscall: 'connect', fatal: true
