This function could be set to be used as standalone, but the way we use it is by setting a AWS Cloudwatch, and a AWS Lambda function
Since this project uses node_modules, we have 2 ways of passing the code to AWS Lambda
- Uploading to AWS S3
- Creating a ZIP file and uploading to Lambda (We usually use this, but could be changed)
- Create a ZIP file
- Upload to AWS Lambda
- Set the AWS Cloudwatch to call the function on the desired period of time
- You are all set
