The State Machine

This is an example CDK stack to deploy The State Machine stack described by Jeremy Daly here - https://www.jeremydaly.com/serverless-microservice-patterns-for-aws/#statemachine

You would use this pattern for simple or complex business logic in a synchronous or an asynchronous setup. Step Functions come with lots of built in robustness features that will reduce your code liability

Architecture

Testing It Out

After deployment you should have an API Gateway HTTP API where on the base url you can send a POST request with a payload in the following format:

// for a succesful execution
{
    "flavour": "pepperoni"
}

//to see a failure
{
    "flavour": "pineapple"
}

If you pass in pineapple or hawaiian you should see the step function flow fail in the response payload

The response returned is the raw and full output from the step function so will look something like this:

// A successful execution, note the status of SUCCEEDED
{
    "billingDetails": {
        "billedDurationInMilliseconds": 500,
        "billedMemoryUsedInMB": 64
    },
    "executionArn": "arn:aws:...",
    "input": "{ \"flavour\": \"pepperoni\"}",
    "inputDetails": {
        "__type": "com.amazonaws.swf.base.model#CloudWatchEventsExecutionDataDetails",
        "included": true
    },

    "output": "{\"containsPineapple\":false}",

}
