What is the purpose of EventBridge Scheduler?

The purpose of EventBridge Scheduler is to facilitate the creation, running, and management of scheduled tasks in a serverless environment. This service allows users to define specific times or recurring intervals for tasks to be executed without the need for managing any underlying infrastructure. By making task scheduling easier, EventBridge Scheduler efficiently supports automation, allowing developers to focus more on business logic rather than operational concerns.

While options related to monitoring API usage, encrypting data, and backing up resources pertain to significant aspects of cloud service management, they don't directly relate to the core functionality of scheduling tasks. EventBridge Scheduler specifically addresses the need for ongoing task management and execution, highlighting its distinct role in event-driven architectures.
