Build a Serverless Workflow with AWS Step Functions

AWS Step Functions hold many advantages over standard event driven workflows. In this video, I walk you through the process of creating a step function workflow that leverages AWS Lambda and DynamoDB. Follow along with me as we explore the capabilities of this service and how it can be used to model complex workflows.

this is better explained than anything else I've found. I avoided this tool like the plague but now I finally get how to use it

Thanks from me as well. I followed through successfully. I'm an AWS generalist. I never did something like this before and don't fully understand what I did, but I did it!

[uncommonengineer]

Great instructional video! Thank you! (edited previous comment cos you corrected the specify key error a few minutes later in the video haha)

[sandeshprasai]

I was struggling with getting input, it really helped me, thank you

[thaiscastro]

Beautifully explained! Very helpful, thanks!

[mohammedalnaggar]

You're awesome as always man, keep it up 👏💪

[artbart]

Very nice explained tutorial.keep it going!

[haitrongdo]

It is incredible, thank you so much and keep it up.

[garethgriffiths]

Great video, thank you.

Do you have any videos of setting up serverless offline step functions or Kinesis

It's great, but I'm a bit worried about the testing.
It's so ugly to unit test step functions, that you have even a higher barrier to do it.
In this case it's easy to test it manually, but what happens in more complex scenarios?

I was wondering if it is possible to integrate the workflow that works with step functions into classic CI/CD pipelines with full-fledged testing, deploying, etc. It seems like it is possible to use them with Terraform, but I'm not sure if it is easy for developers to work this way instead of classic microservices.

Where can I find the documentation of all the Tags we can use in step functions? I have looked through AWS documentation, but It does not have all the tag information.

[abimbolaobadare]

Pls can this be implemented with AWS CDK python? if yes where do I get started?

[sandyjust]

Is there any way can we transform this JSON (State langauge) to a CDK file?

I know you tried to explain the STEP function as clearly as you can. But in my opinion, this tool is so ridiculously complicated for a relatively simple task. Just like the comment from @alexandermiller7330, I probably wanted to avoid this STEP tool like the plague. If the seasoned guy like you had so much trial and error, what luck do we have?
