"Step Functions are perfect for holding simple stateful business logic"
What do you like best about AWS Step Functions?
Step Functions are perfect to implement stateful behavior while using stateless workers (lambdas). It's fairly easy to have conditional operations or operations on array-like inputs. This makes Step Functions very powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about AWS Step Functions?
The main downside of Step Functions (aside from the vendor lock in, but if you're using AWS Lambda you have already accepted it) is the language you describe them in. While AWS gives you some tools to inspect your Step Function's shape, the Amazon State Language could have been designed better. When the state machine logic becomes non-trivial, the state machine definition grows in number of lines rapidly, rendering very difficult to maintain and modify state machines on the long run.
