Course Description

AWS Step Functions is the best way to build distributed applications and automate business processes workflows visually!

The great thing about Step Functions is that you don't need to manage failures, retries, parallelization, and service integrations - all of that comes built-in with Step functions, so you can only focus on business logic.


In this course, you will dive right in and learn how to automate your workflows quickly and with minimal code using the Workflow Studio, a drag-and-drop UI with all the tools that allow you to create full-on orchestration in your workflows.

In a nutshell, you will:

  • Build and deploy rapidly - use the Workflow Studio interface to quickly and visually create your workflows.

  • Write less integration code - easily integrate with hundreds of AWS resources (Lambda, SNS, SQS, DynamoDB, API Gateway...)

  • Build bullet-proof and stateful workflows - use the power of Step Functions state management to make sure your workflows run smoothly and orderly. Leverage built-in error-handling features.

  • Leverage Reliable and Scalable infrastructure built into Step Functions.



With AWS Step Functions, you'll be able to create complex workflows using a state machine that is robust and reliable - you'll unleash the power of orchestration and automation for many different use-cases for projects and your organization.



For this course, we'll deploy several real-world use-cases created with Step Functions:

  • Spam Handler workflow use-case

  • News Filter workflow use-case

  • Contact Form workflow use-case

  • Prospect Approval workflow use-case

After finishing the course, you will be confident in being able to write complex workflows using AWS Step Functions.


In this course, you will be learning, by doing, everything you need to know to be proficient with  AWS Step Functions and integrate with many different AWS services!

Thank you for nice explanations, quick examples and speedy teaching. Its a very good content to get started and get to core & basics before starting with Step Functions and workflows.

By Prakash Dutta on 8/21/2024

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Teacher @Paulo explanations were clear and concise with proper descriptions of each steps. This making a complex topics on AWS Step functions much more approachable. The hands-on demonstrations were incredibly helpful with lots of practical insights into setting up and using step functions effectively.

By William S Chew on 8/13/2024

This is one of the best technical trainings I've ever taken. Paulo presents very clear examples that are easy to follow along with and create step functions with. He goes into enough of dynamo, lambda, and api gateway to understand how to take advantage of step functions with these AWS services. As an AWS developer with experience in all of these except step functions, this was the perfect course to understand how to create step function work flows with familiar AWS services.

By Eoghan O'Donnell on 10/29/2023

I have experience using Step Functions from a prior job in production, and this was a great refresher of all things Step Functions! Good inclusion also of other services such as API Gateway, Dynamo and of course lambdas to make it a nicely rounded-out course.

By Ankit Jha on 8/9/2023

really good course to learn all the basics of step functions. Also given use cases examples are really good to advance the step function knowledge. Thank you Paulo for the course.

By John Wynn on 6/7/2023

Very easy to follow the instructions. I really like the more complex examples with using a callback and then also using more of the built-in integrations of DynamoDB and the sentiment detector. The pace of the class was perfect for me and the instructions/example code was great.

By Anonymized User on 5/22/2023

The course is very easy to follow and provides a good foundation on step functions. Basic examples but if you have some AWS experience you can easily think of many more to expand with.

By Bernhard Kuhlen on 2/22/2023

Very good course on step functions. Sad this was on nodejs only but still you get the idea and impression. I understand that towards the end and the real world examples, it gets a bit more complicated. But at least the last scenario with API gateway and callbacks was hard to understand (for me) and would have loved more detail there. Great course in the end, thank you!

By Prabakaran Chenni on 2/11/2023

Could add more content about Standard / Express workflows Accessing context object was missing Could have added more on Error handling with retry and catch Could have shown more integration with other AWS services for the task token like SNS Could add more examples on triggering SF from various AWS services

By Lyle Martin on 8/29/2022

Interesting to see the steps walked through to create a state machine with step functions. Lacking in explanations about many of the steps and terms mean in the process. Read the descriptions on the screen is not very helpful if you were confused about that to begin with.
