No, like, http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-scheduled-e... (and linked from that page, http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/tutorial-schedul... )

You can just set up "here's my cron string, run this function", and it will run that function when applicable. No external services, no SQS. Just a Cloudwatch event, that executes your lambda, at a set schedule.
