Step function as Scheduler

Question

Hi',  
  
Can we use AWS Step Functions as a scheduler service ?  
Like AWS SF starts at a particular time in a day and invokes some HTTPS/HTTP URL with some data, is this possible ?  
  
Thanks

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can schedule Step Functions executions using CloudWatch Events for serverless cron. Learn more at .

Answer

Sure you can.   
You can have a wait state referring to a Timestamp variable in the execution input  
"wait_until" : {  
    "Type": "Wait",  
    "TimestampPath": "$.expirydate",  
    "Next": "NextState"  
}  
Or a hard coded timestamp  
"wait_until" : {  
  "Type": "Wait",  
  "Timestamp": "2016-03-14T01:59:00Z",  
  "Next": "NextState"  
}
