But fault tolerant workflow engine is not trivial thing, it may cost you many engineer hours to build, monitor and maintain it, so outsourcing it to someone else is totally viable solution.

Any mention of AWS Step Functions makes absolutely no sense at all and reads at best like a non-sequitur.
- thorum 4y agoI read it as a comment on the UX / developer experience, which can superior with Step Functions vs competition regardless of whether Step Functions is an appropriate (or even physically possible) option for non-AWS projects.
