Serverless Framework Node Scheduled Cron on AWS

It is the Serverless Framework Node Scheduled Cron on AWS that claim and swap KLIMA tokens for USDC on SushiSwap.

Schedule event type

This examples defines two functions, cron and secondCron, both of which are triggered by an event of schedule type, which is used for configuring functions to be executed at specific time or in specific intervals. For detailed information about schedule event, please refer to corresponding section of Serverless docs.

When defining schedule events, we need to use rate or cron expression syntax.

Rate expressions syntax

rate(value unit)

value - A positive number

unit - The unit of time. ( minute | minutes | hour | hours | day | days )

In below example, we use rate syntax to define schedule event that will trigger our rateHandler function every minute

functions:
  rateHandler:
    handler: handler.run
    events:
      - schedule: rate(1 minute)

Detailed information about rate expressions is available in official AWS docs.

Cron expressions syntax

cron(Minutes Hours Day-of-month Month Day-of-week Year)

All fields are required and time zone is UTC only.

Field	Values	Wildcards
Minutes	0-59	, - * /
Hours	0-23	, - * /
Day-of-month	1-31	, - * ? / L W
Month	1-12 or JAN-DEC	, - * /
Day-of-week	1-7 or SUN-SAT	, - * ? / L #
Year	192199	, - * /

In below example, we use cron syntax to define schedule event that will trigger our cronHandler function every second minute every Monday through Friday

functions:
  cronHandler:
    handler: handler.run
    events:
      - schedule: cron(0/2 * ? * MON-FRI *)

Detailed information about cron expressions in available in official AWS docs.
