Using scheduled events to trigger Lambda functions

In this video I'll show you how to use scheduled events to trigger Lambda functions on a regular interval. This can be useful if you have to perform maintenance on a database, send out periodic emails, checking the status of different services, ...

You can think of schedules events as cron jobs in Linux.

Source code

Source code of the Lambda function that sends an email through the MailGun API can be found on GitHub.
