About AWS Step Functions

AWS Step Functions was introduced by Amazon Web Services in 2016 to simplify the orchestration of complex workflows in cloud applications. It aimed to provide developers with a way to coordinate distributed components and microservices through visual workflows, enhancing automation, error handling, and state management capabilities without the need for manual infrastructure management.

Strengths of AWS Step Functions include its serverless architecture, ease of integration with other AWS services, visual workflow design, and built-in error handling. Weaknesses may involve potential cost concerns for large-scale workflows and limited customization compared to some open-source alternatives. Competitors include Azure Logic Apps, Google Cloud Workflows, and Apache Airflow.
