AWS Step Functions with DynamoDB Tutorial | Step by Step Guide

In this tutorial, I show you how to set up AWS Step Functions with DynamoDB that enters a row into your DynamoDB table. This is using AWS' direct DynamoDB integration as part of a Step Function Task, as opposed to using a transformation layer like a lambda function. I start out by creating a DynamoDB table, followed by creating the Step Function State Machine and writing the ASL orchestration code. From there, I input a sample event that executes the Step Function, and finally we verify the record is added to DynamoDB.

Amazing guide man. This was so useful for me to get up to speed conceptually with what step functions can do. Subscribed!

how do you getItem in step functions? it returns values with type descriptors, like M, N, NS, etc... it is really painful. is there a way to retrieve items without types?
