Amazon EventBridge Scheduled to AWS Lambda

This template deploys a Lambda function that is triggered by an EventBridge Schedule. In this example, the Lambda function logs text to the console every minute.

Important: this application uses various AWS services and there are costs associated with these services after the Free Tier usage - please see the AWS Pricing page for details. You are responsible for any AWS costs incurred. No warranty is implied in this example.

Requirements

• Create an AWS account if you do not already have one and log in. The IAM user that you use must have sufficient permissions to make necessary AWS service calls and manage AWS resources.
• AWS CLI installed and configured
• Git Installed
• AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) installed

Deployment Instructions

1. Create a new directory, navigate to that directory in a terminal and clone the GitHub repository:

   git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/serverless-patterns
   

2. Change directory to the pattern directory:

   cd eventbridge-event-lambda
   

3. From the command line, use AWS SAM to deploy the AWS resources for the pattern as specified in the template.yml file:

   sam deploy --guided
   

4. During the prompts:

   • Enter a stack name
   • Enter the desired AWS Region
   • Allow SAM CLI to create IAM roles with the required permissions.

   Once you have run sam deploy -guided mode once and saved arguments to a configuration file (samconfig.toml), you can use sam deploy in future to use these defaults.

5. Note the outputs from the SAM deployment process. These contain the resource names and/or ARNs which are used for testing.

How it works

This SAM template creates a Lambda function that logs Hello World to the console every minute.

Testing

After running sam deploy, go to the Lambda console. Find your Lambda function, and open the CloudWatch logs. You will see the new events every minute.

Cleanup

1. Delete the stack

   aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name STACK_NAME

2. Confirm the stack has been deleted

   aws cloudformation list-stacks --query "StackSummaries[?contains(StackName,'STACK_NAME')].StackStatus"

PIP download library for a custom layer

1. Run the command below:

   (current directory) $ pip install -r ./src/requirements.txt --target ./layers/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages
