Answer 2

To start using AWS Step Functions, go to the AWS Step Functions detail page and click the “Get Started for Free” button. If you do not have an Amazon Web Service account, you will be prompted to create one. After signing up, you can run a sample walkthrough in the AWS Step Functions Console which takes you through the steps of creating a state machine. Go to AWS Step Functions from the AWS Management Console. Next select the “Hello World” blueprint and add a “HelloWorld” Lambda function. You can now preview and run your state machine. To start using AWS Step Functions in your applications, please refer to the AWS Step Functions documentation.
