Lambda seems pretty reasonably priced, but Step Function transitions seem absurdly expensive to me. Who is actually using Step Functions?

- hkchad 8y agoWe use them a ton for long running jobs that require polling before moving to the next job. Mainly use them to run Glue/Batch jobs via lambda, after this week no longer need lambda to start a Glue Job, they can be called directly.
- scarface74 8y agoI use them to orchestrated processes that take longer than 15 minutes. As far as cost, an edict came down from on high not to use any more EC2 instances for custom jobs without a very good reason. We are much more concerned about reducing the amount of time we deal with servers (and the dependence on hiring people to do it) than we are with infrastructure costs.
