AWS Step Functions with SQS Tutorial | Step by Step Guide

In this tutorial, I show you how to set up an AWS Step Function that sends a message to SQS . This is using AWS' direct SQS 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 SQS Queue, 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 pushed to the Queue.

Hi, Thank you for this great tutorial. Just wanted to know if it's possible to have the reverse scenario whereby StepFunction gets auto triggered upon receiving a message in certain SQS. Thanks!

Thanks man for the video, I have the opposite situation, I have messages from SQS and I want to pass them to StepFunctions, how can I do that? do I need a lambda to trigger this job? or I can pass them directly to StepFunctions from the SQS queue? The msg I have is an S3 notification from a PUT request to give you more visibility about what I'm asking for.
