What do you like best about AWS Step Functions?
Step Functions allow you to run complex stateful processes in a serverless or hybrid serverless environment. It has enabled vast cost savings at our company and is now one of the core foundations of our architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about AWS Step Functions?
Before re:Invent 2018 you had to build really simple functions to send pieces of the Step Function state to things like SNS and SQS, or select data from DynamoDB. These things are now possible as Step Function service integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Step Functions?
I have used AWS Step functions in conjuction with AWS lambda or serverless projects. I have used them in two use cases:
1. They make running complex serverless projects that have to run either sequentially or in parallel really easy
2. You can also use step functions to optimize a serverless code in terms of the RAM required or run time etc
In addition to the above, it is really a cheap service and although I am not using it right now but have used it extensively in my previous projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about AWS Step Functions?
The only downside I have faced is debugging the service. For example, if you are running 5 lambda functions and one of them has an error, the output will just be "Unknown" which doesn't help much. You'd have to run the functions individually to check for error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Step Functions?
It is a software that I have been using for a long time now. AWS Step Functions is very effective in improving the performance of an operating system or improving the speed with which the programs in general run on our computer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about AWS Step Functions?
The only thing I do not like is that now the updater runs in the background. But in operation I have not had any problems. It is the best maintenance tool that is used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Step Functions?
AWS Step Functions was very well documented, and I had no trouble starting it up and then using it. It was very easy to integrate with other services like Lambda, CloudWatch, and Secrets Manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about AWS Step Functions?
Debugging is challenging: for instance, if Lambda functions timed out, only a "Lambda Unknown" error is displayed. This is not documented, and I had to figure this out on my own. Also, there was no way to test this locally, so I had to upload my program online and then test it out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
