Make Your Serverless Functions Do More with Durable Executions
summary
Shows an AWS Lambda durable executions pattern with a working e‑commerce demo that authorizes a Stripe payment as uncaptured, pauses for manual admin approval, then captures or cancels the charge; demo succeeds and sends confirmation email. Uses the durable-execution JS SDK with TypeScript SDK hooks like context.step and context.wait, stores callback IDs in Neon, supports local unit tests and SAM/Terraform deployment, offers pause up to one year timers and no compute charges while suspended, and exposes CloudWatch observability.
