deployCloudwatchEvent

Exports an async function that creates a CloudWatchEventRule for our post Lambdas. The rule is to execute the Lambdas once every minute. What the post queue Lambdas do is pull tokens of the SQS queue in a predetermined loop. Between that looping logic, and the once a minute execution rule set here, we achieve the rate the user wants.
