Why take this course?

Master the art of serverless workflow orchestrate in AWS.

You will learn everything you need to make effective use of the AWS Step Functions service. At the end of the course, you should have a good grasp of how it works, when to use it, and design patterns and best practices to help you make the best use of the Step Functions service.

You will follow along with our hands-on demos to see how you can build business workflows and orchestrate Lambda functions using Step Functions. You will also learn how to trigger state machine executions using API Gateway and CloudWatch Events, as well as how to wait for human input using activities and callbacks.

Furthermore, Step Functions can integrate with far more than just Lambda functions. You will see how to integrate your state machines with other AWS services such as SNS, SQS and DynamoDB. You'll learn about best practices and see some common design patterns you can apply with Step Functions such as the Saga pattern.

I kind of lost interest after looking at a couple of videos. I am an experienced AWS Professional who has some peripheral knowledge on Step functions. I felt that the course was lacking structure and the explanation seems too fast and covering too many things without proper context Its too condensed for beginners and too basic for professionals. Also there should have been a Full Section just discussing about ASL ( Amazon States Language ) which would have been great for everyone

Der Tutor spricht zu schnell. Für nicht Englisch "native speaker" ist häufig sehr schwer zu verstehen, was genau erklärt wird. Die Code-Beispiele sollen als Download zur Verfügung stehen.

It is a condensed course packed with a lot of very useful technical information and practical examples about step functions. It does requires some level of coding and serverless knowledge. I personally like this because it reduces noises of other setup that are not related to step functions. Note that the author does provide code example in his GitHub account: https://github.com/theburningmonk/complete-guide-to-step-functions-examples

Contenido bastante resumido. Esta bien para tener una idea general. Sin embargo, para profundizar hace falta mas explicaciones, ejemplos prácticos y preguntas al final de cada módulo.

Nearly everything was good, but two things> 1. Skipped some parts of the serverless framework , and I needed to learn outside of this course 2. This course is outdated with the AWS current UI/UX, and with some of the serverless framework features.

No -- he is grabbing code from everywhere and it is hard to follow (he should include as resources). Furthermore a lot depends on a Framework in Node.js -- not clear how to use Step Functions in Python

It is a crips course indeed. Alos, due to low audio level and I had to use a headphone to listen into with 100% volume :(

Good detailed course on step functions. Can clear many doubts and concepts regarding applications and architecture of step functions in AWS.

This course is useful, rather concise, I liked it. A little more "home work" would have been appreciated though.

The course was thorough enough to build on my previous SFN experience. I found it helpful and learned new designs.

No esta actualizado y me da la impresión que lugar de explicar paso a paso se remite a solo..... Copia del git y te explico pero rápido.

This course is highly useful to understand overview of AWS step functions and design patterns using it.

There should have been information on what was required to run the exercises. ie the instructor is using a mac book and sls. he also proceeds very quickly thorugh the example and does not take the time to explain why

Very Nice Course. It would be great if we can have server less implementation of different patterns. Thanks

The course assumes that we already know serverless and node.js. If this was mentioned in the pre-requisites, then I wouldnt have purchased this at all.
