Scheduled Tasks

Architecture

Execute recurring tasks on a schedule:

• EventBridge for cron/rate-based scheduling
• Lambda for task execution
• CloudWatch Logs for monitoring and debugging

Common Uses

• Database cleanup and maintenance
• Report generation and distribution
• Data synchronization between systems
• Cache warming and invalidation
• Health checks and monitoring

When to Use

This pattern is ideal when you need:

• Regular maintenance tasks
• Batch processing on a schedule
• Cost-effective alternative to always-on instances
