I checked your code, added a couple of logs and changes.
I tested on AWS and it works.
You can check my code here: github.com/piczmar/sls-test-author...

I'm not sure what was your problem. I can think of wrong DB connection details causing Sequilize to wait on connection. Can you make sure the correct env. variables are set on Lambda function?

Can you check my version and see if it helped?

I got the authorizer to work :D

The issue was with the principalId. I wanted to set the authenticated object as the principalId and add it in the request body, that way I would save an extra database query. Once I set the principalId to the token. The authorizer started working.

I have to query the authenticated user again in my controller, but I can live with that.

Thanks for your help.
