Scheduled Invocations with EventBridge
Learn to run Lambda functions on a recurring schedule using Amazon EventBridge rules with cron and rate expressions.
Why Scheduled Functions?
Many tasks need to run on a timer: nightly reports, cache warming, cleanup jobs. EventBridge Scheduler triggers Lambda without any always-on server.
Rate vs Cron
EventBridge supports two schedule syntaxes:
- rate() for simple intervals.
- cron() for precise calendar times.
