Schedule Events in EventBridge with Lambda

AWS EventBridge is an event bus service that delivers real-time data from event sources and routes that data to targets like AWS Lambda, Amazon SNS, and more.
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers.
To schedule events using AWS EventBridge Scheduler and AWS Lambda we need to create an IAM role that will allow AWS EventBridge Scheduler to invoke your Lambda function.
Create a Lambda function that will process the scheduled events.
For scheduling an event, we need to install the necessary AWS SDK modules.
Extract the event details from your application's input.
Convert the scheduled time from IST to UTC.
Ensure the UTC time string is in the correct format required by EventBridge Scheduler (yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ).
Create an EventBridge schedule using the AWS SDK, specifying the Lambda function ARN as the target and including the event details as input.
The approach outlined in this post ensures that your application can handle multiple scheduled events efficiently and scalably.
