Why this program matters

  • Companies that neglect AWS Step Functions lose agility on critical business processes.

  • According to Gartner, 67% of poorly orchestrated serverless architectures generate 40% higher costs.

  • Architects without these skills see their employability decline amid rising demand.

  • Your organization risks project delays and mounting technical debt.

  • Act now to secure your workflows.

Program

AWS Step Functions curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Theme: Introduction to Advanced Step Functions Patterns (Lambda, EventBridge, Express Workflows)

Participants explore the foundations of serverless orchestration with AWS Step Functions. They analyze real business cases, configure Express Workflows and integrate Lambda for distributed processing. Practical exercises include creating simple state machines and validating flows with EventBridge. Each learner delivers a documented basic architecture.

Module 2 : Theme: Expert Error Handling and Retry with Step Functions (CloudWatch, X-Ray, Step Functions)

This day deepens fault-tolerance strategies in AWS Step Functions. Professionals configure sophisticated retry policies, leverage X-Ray for tracing and integrate CloudWatch for real-time observability. Chaos engineering scenarios allow testing resilience. Final deliverable: workflow with complete exception handling.

Module 3 : Theme: Serverless Integration of Step Functions with API Gateway (API Gateway, Lambda, IAM)

Experts connect AWS Step Functions to API Gateway to expose secured APIs. They implement custom authorizers, manage quotas and optimize latencies. Practical workshops cover complex business cases including callbacks and long-running tasks. Each participant delivers a functional API Gateway linked to a workflow.

Module 4 : Theme: Distributed Orchestration and Parallelism with Step Functions (Map, Parallel, SQS)

The training addresses advanced parallelism patterns in AWS Step Functions. Learners deploy Map states for massive processing, integrate SQS for decoupling and optimize concurrent executions. Exercises on real data volumes allow measuring gains. Deliverable: scalable pipeline with performance metrics.

Module 5 : Theme: Production Deployment and Cost Optimization of Step Functions (CDK, Terraform, budgets)

Participants finalize their expertise by automating Step Functions deployment via CDK and Terraform. They analyze costs, apply optimization strategies and integrate budget alerts. A final paired project enables delivery of a complete certified solution with documentation and tests. Group review of architectures.

How AWS Step Functions skills are assessed

  • Daily interactive quizzes on key concepts
  • Capstone project evaluated at the end of each day
  • Final presentation in front of the group and the trainer

How the AWS Step Functions course is taught

  • Hands-on workshops on the AWS console and CLI
  • Real-world business case studies

AWS Step Functions training: access and practical arrangements

The Training AWS Step Functions - Orchestrating Expert Workflows program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training AWS Step Functions - Orchestrating Expert Workflows program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training AWS Step Functions - Orchestrating Expert Workflows program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your AWS Step Functions training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
