Automate complex workflows with seamless AWS integration
Step Functions provide seamless integration with AWS services, which enhances the speed of application development. The JSON app launched recently allows us to define data execution more easily.

Pros

"If you want to create a workflow to call one Lambda function after another, and other serverless features, it could save you a ton of money. That's for sure."
"AWS Step Functions offers advanced workflows that save time and enhance efficiency by reducing delays and ensuring consistent orchestration among various services."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"The integration capability is easy, whereas building state machines is tricky."
"AWS Step Functions offers advanced workflows that save time and enhance efficiency by reducing delays and ensuring consistent orchestration among various services."
"Overall, I would rate AWS Step Functions at least nine out of ten."

Cons

"If AWS Step Functions keeps adding more integrations, it would be even better."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"Increasing the payload size would be beneficial."
"One area for improvement is the payload size. Currently, I sometimes have to save data as a file since I cannot pass it within Step Functions, necessitating caching in processes."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"The solution's pricing could be cheaper. It is cheaper than Airflow."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"The setup and configuration is complex."
"The design of the interface, in general, could be improved. It could be a bit more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
