In this tutorial, Michael (aka focusotter) walks you through the process of creating a future-dated message scheduler using AWS Amplify, React, DynamoDB, and EventBridge Scheduler. The video covers the architecture and hands-on coding needed to build this application from scratch. Learn how to set up user authentication via Amazon Cognito, make API requests with AWS AppSync, handle CRUD operations, and create custom mutations. Michael also explains the steps to schedule messages and send emails using Amazon SES, providing a complete walkthrough of the code and necessary AWS services. Whether you're building an email scheduler or a similar application, this tutorial shows you how to use AWS Amplify Gen 2, EventBridge Scheduler, and Lambda functions to achieve your goals.
