AWS Step Functions with Lambda Tutorial | Step by Step Guide

AWS Step functions allow developers to offload application orchestration into a fully managed AWS service. In this tutorial, I show you how to use AWS Step Functions to pass input into your lambda, and use your lambda's output to decide next steps in your Step Function's decision logic. I start out by creating the step function and attaching the required IAM role. From there I integrate with Lambda and fire some test events to verify everything is connected.
