Learn more about AWS Step Functions
What is AWS Step Functions
✔ A low-code, visual workflow service that developers use to build distributed applications, automate IT and business processes, and build data and machine learning pipelines using AWS services.
✔ Breaks workflows into multiple steps, adding flow logic, and tracking the inputs and outputs between the steps.
✔ Manages workflow failures, retries, parallelization, service integrations, and observability.
Use Cases
Automate Extract, Transform, and Load process
Ensure that long-running, multiple ETL jobs run in order and complete successfully, instead of manually orchestrating those jobs or maintaining a separate application.
Prepare Data for Machine Learning
To enable machine learning, source data must be collected, processed, and normalized so that machine learning modelling systems like Amazon SageMaker can train on that data. Step Functions makes it easier to sequence the steps it takes to automate your machine learning pipeline.
Orchestrate microservices
Use Step Functions to combine multiple AWS Lambda functions into responsive serverless applications and microservices. You can also orchestrate data and services that run on Amazon EC2 instances, containers, or on-premises servers.
