My proposal would be to use 2 (or maybe all 3) from these examples:

  • Fan out a batch job using AWS Step Functions
    This seems like a general use-case where we have to fan out a big batch job. As this comes up a lot during development, including an example with this could be interesting and useful for the audience.
  • Dynamically process data with a Map state
    Data processing and writing to a DynamoDB would increase the scope of this step function testing, but as step functions are used a lot in data pipelines, this might be an interesting scenario to work on as well.
  • Poll for Job Status (Lambda, AWS Batch)
    And this one is just an easy job poller, which when a timeout happens returns with an error. We have a simple condition check in the step function so might as well include it as a simpler example.

@sorosz89 what do you think?

Good idea, we can even use a simple one as well: Make a call to API Gateway

We could use this one as well, however in the scope of the topic we would also like to focus on testing step functions as a solution, with reasonable isolation, instead of pure infrastructure testing.
