AWS Step Functions

coordinate multiple AWS services into serverless workflows to build and update apps quickly.
design and run workflows that stitch together services such as AWS Lambda and Amazon ECS into feature-rich applications.
- Workflows are made up of a series of steps, with the output of one step acting as input into the next.
- Application development is simpler and more intuitive using Step Functions, because it translates workflow into a state machine diagram that is easy to understand, explain to others, and change.
automatically triggers and tracks each step, and retries when there are errors, so application executes in order and as expected.
- monitor each step of execution as it happens, which means can identify and fix problems quickly.
State machines are used by Step Functions.
- This product is serverless and can orchestrate long-running workflows involving other AWS services and human interaction.
