AWS Step Functions with SNS Tutorial | Step by Step Guide

In this tutorial, I show you how to set up an AWS Step Function that publishes a message to SNS. This is using AWS' direct SNS 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 SNS Topic and subscribing it to an email, 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 message is delivered to my email.
