AWS Lambda schedule rate(0 minute)

Question

I am Schedule Expressions Using Rate or Cron - AWS Lambda.

The question: Will rate(0 minute) scheduled lambda repeatedly start execution or 0 means never?

Answer 1

As it is already mentioned in the documentation:

Rate expression

rate(Value Unit)

Where:

Value can be a positive integer.

Unit can be minute(s), hour(s), or day(s).

Please note the value can be a positive integer. and from the defnition of positive integer:

An integer is positive if it is greater than zero and negative if it is less than zero.

Zero is defined as neither negative nor positive.

So from these two definitions, setting scheduled rate of zero will not invoke the lambda function.
