Support for synchronous express state machines

[StevenDas-Tomo]

Hi all,

The SFN CreateStateMachine API call has a "type" parameter for explicitly tagging a state machine as either standard or express:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/apireference/API_CreateStateMachine.html

https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/stepfunctions.html#SFN.Client.create_state_machine

As far as I can tell, however, this Terraform module doesn't offer any way to specify the "type" of a state machine.

Are there any plans to add support for the "type" parameter? Or is this already possible today, and if so, how?

Our team is thinking of using a mix of standard and express state machines, so it would be useful to have the ability to customize this.

Thanks!

Hi Steven,

There is an open issue in Terraform AWS provider about this - hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws#11348

https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/blob/master/ROADMAP.md - here it says that it will be taken into account in the near future. Once done we can have support for this in the module.
