What AWS Step Functions Workflow States and Governance requires
AWS Step Functions is a service that enables the creation of workflows, also called state machines, to build distributed applications, automate processes, orchestrate microservices, and create data and machine learning pipelines. It provides two workflow types: Standard and Express, each with its own execution characteristics, such as execution rate, state transition rate, and pricing. Step Functions integrates with multiple AWS services, supporting various integration patterns, including Request Response, Run a Job, and Wait for Callback. It also provides features like error handling, retry mechanisms, and human approval steps, allowing for flexible and robust workflow design. The service supports the creation of long-running, automated workflows for applications that require human interaction, and it provides a console for visualizing, editing, and debugging workflows.
