A Serverless Framework plugin that adds support for defining and deploying AWS Step Functions state machines via serverless.yml. It supports events like API Gateway and schedules, IAM role generation, CloudWatch alarms, X-Ray tracing, and Express workflows.

Use cases

• define AWS Step Functions state machines in serverless.yml
• trigger a state machine from an API Gateway endpoint
• run workflows on a schedule with EventBridge
• deploy Express workflows with the Serverless Framework
• add CloudWatch alarms to Step Functions
• manage IAM roles for state machines automatically

When to choose

• you already use the Serverless Framework and need Step Functions support
• you want to define state machines declaratively in YAML
• you need API Gateway or scheduled event triggers for workflows

When to avoid

• you use AWS CDK, SAM, or Terraform instead of Serverless Framework
• you don't use AWS Step Functions
• you need a standalone workflow engine outside AWS
