You certainly do not need "infinite scaling" to do that. Just a queue of workers running on a dumb server or even just a crontab... Yes it is the very definition of over engineering.

No, you don't need "infinite scaling" for just that. But if you have a FaaS-Setup anyway, you might as well reuse it for such relatively simple (but still useful) tasks.

A full Linux kernel and cron daemon for that? You could run it on an ESP32!
