AWS Step Functions overview

What is AWS Step Functions?

AWS Step Functions is a low-code workflow management platform that helps businesses create visual workflows to automate business operations, orchestrate AWS services, and design serverless applications. It provides a drag and drop interface, which allows administrators to deploy event-driven workflows on a unified dashboard.

It offers a variety of features including built-in service primitives, workflow abstraction, component reuse, error handling, execution management, visual monitoring, and more. Businesses can use AWS Step Functions to automatically scale applications, ensure workflow compliance with SOC (System & Organization Control) standards, and monitor operations and history of workflow execution using a real-time diagnostics module.
