AWS RDS Database Running Scheduler

This AWS CDK construct provides an automated solution for managing the operational hours of Amazon RDS DB instances and Aurora clusters. It identifies target resources based on user-defined tags and leverages AWS EventBridge Scheduler to trigger a Lambda function at specified times, ensuring databases only run during active working hours. This significantly reduces costs for non-production environments. The current stable version is 3.1.4, with frequent patch and minor releases. Key differentiators include its tag-based targeting, 'Durable Execution' Lambda that polls for desired resource states, and optional Slack notifications for operational status. It supports cron-based scheduling with configurable timezones, times, and weekdays, enabling precise control over database availability and cost optimization.
