How to Trigger an Event on a Timer with EventBridge Scheduler and Python

EventBridge Scheduler is a new addition to the EventBridge suite of services that allow you to trigger an event at a specific moment in time. Previously, triggering an event at a particular time was a painful process that required creating a Step Function and adding Wait Task that could read off the input to schedule an event in the future. This old process was overkill for such a seemingly trivial task. With this new feature, we can trigger an event that invokes another service (Lambda, SQS, SNS, etc) at a pre-determined time. In this video, I walk you through the process of setting up the your timer and invoking a Lambda function.

@BeABetterDev can you make a video on automated testcases for a lambda function with aws sns, template.yaml etc .

Very useful video, but code show json syntax error in IAM custom trust policy.
I took code from your website.
Thank you so much.

Just use dynamo streams with schedule time as ttl
