Encodes the current expression and script into a shareable link. The entire state lives in the URL hash — no server, no database.

AWS EventBridge Cron Syntax (6-Field Format)

AWS EventBridge uses a 6-field cron format (adds seconds), with a special "?" token for day-of-week/day-of-month. Use croncrunch to build and validate your schedule, then generate the JSON configuration for your EventBridge rule. The builder handles the AWS-specific syntax variations automatically.

EventBridge Schedule Expressions and Lambda Targets

Define cron-based event rules to trigger Lambda functions, SNS topics, or other AWS services on schedule. croncrunch validates your expression syntax before you deploy, preventing silent EventBridge rule failures.

Deploy AWS EventBridge Rules

Once generated, use the AWS Console or CLI to create your rule: aws events put-rule --name my-rule --schedule-expression "cron(0 0 * * ? *)" --state ENABLED. Add Lambda targets with put-targets to define what runs when the schedule fires.
