A basic example that demonstrates using AWS Step Functions with a Lambda function, written in Python.
# Create virtual environment and install dependencies
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r ./requirements.txt
# Create and configure a new stack
pulumi stack init stepfunctions-dev
pulumi config set aws:region us-east-2
# Preview and run the deployment
pulumi up
# Start execution using the AWS CLI (or from the console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/states)
aws stepfunctions start-execution --state-machine-arn $(pulumi stack output state_machine_arn)
# Remove the app and its stack
pulumi destroy && pulumi stack rm -y
