Visualize AWS Step Functions with the State Machine Map

What's this blog post about?

AWS Step Functions is a service that allows users to coordinate activities from various services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon EKS, and Amazon API Gateway to build serverless workflows. Datadog's State Machine Map provides a visualization of the performance of these workflows by showing each state in the workflow along with its logs, errors, and latency metrics. The map helps users monitor their state machines' performance and troubleshoot issues such as errors, latency, and unexpected behavior. It also allows users to understand the branches in their state machine and drill down into any state's data for further investigation. By leveraging both the State Machine Map and the flame graph, users can quickly detect failed workflows, spot the affected state, and determine a root cause.
