AWS Lambda + EventBridge Schedule

Run your dotflow pipeline on a recurring schedule using AWS Lambda and EventBridge.

Create project

dotflow init
# Select cloud: lambda-scheduled

Or generate files for an existing project:

dotflow cloud generate --platform lambda-scheduled

Generated files

File	Description
Dockerfile	Lambda container image
handler.py	Lambda entry point
template.yaml	SAM template with EventBridge schedule trigger
samconfig.toml	Pre-configured deployment settings

Prerequisites

• pip install dotflow[aws]
• AWS CLI configured (aws configure)
• Docker

Deploy

Option 1: dotflow deploy

dotflow deploy --platform lambda-scheduled --project my_pipeline --schedule "0 */6 * * *"

Option 2: SAM CLI

aws ecr create-repository --repository-name my_pipeline --region us-east-1
sam build
sam deploy

View logs

sam logs --stack-name my_pipeline --tail

Important

• Use standard cron format (e.g. 0 */6 * * *). Dotflow converts to AWS EventBridge format automatically
• Edit template.yaml to change the schedule after generation
