What is the substitute for crond in aws, EventBridge?


I am planning to invoke lambda once every hour.

Until now, I was get used to use crond to invoke some events on linux.

So, I am googling around what is the substitute for crond in aws.

I have heard EventBridge works like that.

My understanding is correct?

If so is there any practice for that?

THank you for your advice.


Solution

  • Yes, AWS Eventbridge is the recommended solution when you want to invoke a lambda (or other) in a scheduled fashion. There's a full tutorial on how to do just that here.

    The Eventbridge rule can support cron expressions, too.
