Best Practices for Writing Step Functions Terraform Projects


Recommended Posts

Terraform by HashiCorp is one of the most popular infrastructure-as-code (IaC) platforms. AWS Step Functions is a visual workflow service that helps developers use AWS services to build distributed applications, automate processes, orchestrate microservices, and create data and machine learning (ML) pipelines. In this blog, we showcase best practices for users leveraging Terraform to deploy workflows, also known as Step Functions state machines. We will create a state machine using Workflow Studio for AWS Step Functions, deploy the state machine with Terraform, and introduce best operating practices on topics such as project structure, modules, parameter substitution, and remote state.

We recommend that you have a working understanding of both Terraform and Step Functions before going through this blog. If you are brand new to Step Functions and/or Terraform, please visit the Introduction to Terraform on AWS Workshop and the Terraform option in the Managing State Machines with Infrastructure as Code section of The AWS Step Functions Workshop to learn more...
