AWS Step Functions

Basic example of AWS Step Functions in Python

This example lives in the pulumi/examples repository. Check out just this directory to use it:

Get started with this example
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set aws-py-stepfunctions
cd pulumi-examples/aws-py-stepfunctions

A basic example that demonstrates using AWS Step Functions with a Lambda function, written in Python.

Prerequisites#

  1. Install Pulumi
  2. Configure AWS credentials
  3. Install Python

Deploying the example#

  1. Create a new stack:

    Terminal window
    pulumi stack init stepfunctions-dev
  2. Set the AWS region to deploy into:

    Terminal window
    pulumi config set aws:region us-east-2
  3. Install dependencies:

    Terminal window
    python3 -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  4. Deploy the stack:

    Terminal window
    pulumi up
  5. Start an execution using the AWS CLI (or from the console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/states):

    Terminal window
    aws stepfunctions start-execution --state-machine-arn $(pulumi stack output state_machine_arn)

Cleaning up#

Once you’re finished experimenting, destroy your stack and remove it to avoid incurring any additional cost:

Terminal window
pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
