AWS schedule event using event details

Question

My application is a message processing application and there is an requirment to send a message to a queue based on the date in the input message. It means I can not pre-configured rule to trigger an event, it should be at run-time based on the date in input message.

We are using quartz at the moment to create task and quartz executes these task based on configured time.

I want to avoid Quartz in AWS. How can I design this solution in AWS ?

Recently(10-Nov-2022) AWS launched a new service called EventBridge Scheduler. I hope this will fulfill all of your requirements and it's serverless too. So no need to worry about the infrastructure changes.

This is a kind of Comparison chart of EventBridge Scheduler vs EventBridge Rules taken from Introducing Amazon EventBridge Scheduler article.
