We will use the AWS CDK in Typescript to create a Lambda function and its resources, and schedule it at specific intervals. We will use this lambda to perform regular database backups of a server outside of AWS.
Resources for Lambda
Serverless compute service (AWS)

Episodes
We explain how the project will be structured and what we are trying to accomplish: a cron process running on AWS Lambda to backup an external server.

We will deploy our resources with cdk deploy. Once we are done we will use cdk destroy to remove the resources.
• Updating our Makefile to document the changes.
• Confirm the s3 bucket is created.
• Deal with common pitfalls when running cdk destroy — like s3 resoruces not being removed.
• Install autodelete bucket and missing aws dependencies.
• Makefile .PHONY targets.
• Permissions.
