AWS Cloudwatch cron expressions every hour

Question

I want to set my service to be triggered hourly, based on the AWS doc:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/events/ScheduledEvents.html#CronExpressions

Is cron(0 * * * ? *) the right way to define it?

Answer 1

if it's a simple expression like hourly execution, why don't you use rate expression?

you set the code below in your cloudformation, serverless template or etc for every one hour.

rate(1 hour)
