Monitor AWS Step Functions with Datadog

AWS Step Functions is a service that simplifies the management of distributed applications by abstracting them into state machines. Datadog, an observability and monitoring platform, now supports native integration with AWS Step Functions, allowing users to monitor their state machines alongside other infrastructure components. This integration provides comprehensive visibility into the performance of state machines and Lambda functions, enabling users to identify issues and errors quickly. With this support, users can also set up alerts for unexpected failures or slow execution times in their state machines. Additionally, Datadog's integration with AWS services like Amazon Simple Queue Service and Amazon SageMaker allows users to inspect every stage of their workflows within a single platform.
