Question

What are the advantages of using AWS-StepFunctions?

Given that there is already a system or processes in progress (all functional) with AWS-Lambda functions what would be the advantages or disadvantages of bringing these processes to step functions, taking into account the learning curve and that we already have the logs implemented in CloudWatch?

In another scenario, what if we were starting the system from the beginning?

AWS Step Functions is actually used to coordinate the execution of multiple functions in a business flow, not as a substitute. It offers a descriptive and visual language to coordinate the sequencing and parallelism of functions, so you don't have to do it in your own code.
