I have a lambda function that gets invoked with an event trigger every x minutes. In Pulumi, I was able to set up the lambda function with event rule and event target, but I can’t seem to figure out how I can configure the

trigger

. Maybe I’m missing something in the docs… does anyone have any idea that can help me out here?

It's probably a CloudWatch event rule? I think schedule triggers for lambdas are usually event rules.

Yes I can create it manually in the AWS console but I really need to do it through Pulumi, just couldn’t find out how I can do it when I create

EventRule

or

EventTarget

via pulumi. Thought I could be missing something obvious that someone can point out.

Yes. I use

aws.cloudwatch.EventRule

to define the schedule, and its

onEvent()

mixin to hook it up to the lambda handler function.

Ahh I think the

onEvent()

is what I’m missing. Thanks heaps, I’ll look into that

Ah yes. They're not well documented. I haven't ever found them on pulumi.com. I think I got a hint from this Slack, then looked through the source code to figure them out.

That’s perfect, thanks 😄
