Vendor-specific, but on AWS, you can invoke a lambda from RDS or Aurora.
1. An event trigger function runs after CREATE TABLE and invokes a lambda.
2. The lambda calls StartExecution on a step function.
3. In the first step of the step functions, call wait for 10 minutes.
4. In the second step, have the lambda perform whatever operation(s) you need to do.
No polling required, but you'd have to be running in a managed service in the Amazon Cloud.
Similarly, if you are self-hosting and willing/able to write some C code or run some pl/pythonu, you could create an extension/function that performs this logic.
Or again if you are self-managed and go the cron route as suggested by David Johnson, there's the extension pg_cron.
