Modern Application Architecture with AWS Step Functions
summary
Claims that AWS Step Functions act as a centralized workflow engine that composes serverless pieces into reproducible state machines, with concrete tools and limits: an image-processing pipeline example that sequences thumbnailing recognition and metadata storage and handles unsupported inputs, two workflow types Standard vs Express with tradeoffs for runtime and throughput, SDK integrations to call over 200 AWS services, Studio and local tooling including Step Functions Local plus recommended practices like timeouts retries and S3 for large payloads.
