AWS Step Functions – How to Build Business Workflows

AWS Step Functions – How to Build Business Workflows

AWS Step Functions makes it easy to coordinate the components of serverless applications and microservices using visual workflows. This makes it simple to build and step through the functions of your application at scale.

Learning Objectives:
– Learn how to build and operate serverless applications using Step Functions state machines
– See reference architectures, blueprints, and example use cases to get started quickly
– Know how to integrate Step Functions with other AWS services to develop and deploy applications faster

With AWS Step Functions you can build workflows to coordinate applications from single AWS Lambda functions up through complex multi-step workflows. Step Functions can help developers greatly reduce the code they need to maintain by providing a standardized way to handle failures, retries, parallelization, and basic decision tree logic. As of AWS re:Invent 2018 you can also create workflows without any custom code, leveraging new capabilities of Step Functions to interface directly with AWS services such as Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon SNS, and Glue. In this session join expert guest Chris Munns, Principal Developer Advocate of Serverless Applications, and walk through the capabilities of Step Functions and how it can help simplify and improve your application development.
