I come from the serverless space where the assumption is that the service will be spun up “on demand”. Or the data pipeline space were work is scheduled.

I am now trying to write an “alert” system that constantly monitors some endpoints and sends notifications as appropriate.

I would put this on a server (e.g. EC2) and forget about it – but I’ve maybe there’s a better way (scheduled lambdas?).

Any wisdom anyone would want to share?
