Step Functions code examples for the SDK for Python

Overview

Shows how to use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to work with AWS Step Functions.

Step Functions makes it easy to coordinate the components of distributed applications as a series of steps in a visual workflow.

Running this code might result in charges to your AWS account.
Running the tests might result in charges to your AWS account.
We recommend that you grant your code least privilege. At most, grant only the minimum permissions required to perform the task. For more information, see Grant least privilege.
This code is not tested in every AWS Region. For more information, see AWS Regional Services.

For prerequisites, see the README in the python folder.

Install the packages required by these examples by running the following in a virtual environment:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Code excerpts that show you how to call individual service functions.

Code examples that show you how to accomplish a specific task by calling multiple functions within the same service.

Sample applications that work across multiple AWS services.

This example shows you how to get started using Step Functions.

python hello.py

This example shows you how to do the following:

Create an activity.
Create a state machine from an Amazon States Language definition that contains the previously created activity as a step.
Run the state machine and respond to the activity with user input.
Get the final status and output after the run completes, then clean up resources.

Start the example by running the following at a command prompt:

python get_started_state_machines.py

⚠ Running tests might result in charges to your AWS account.

To find instructions for running these tests, see the README in the python folder.
