Architecture Corner Newsletter Podcast - When migrating workflows to AWS Step Functions, developers often face a critical decision: should they leverage service integrations or stick with traditional Lambda-based approaches? This choice significantly impacts code complexity, testing strategies, and overall developer experience.

In this episode we will cover:

• The migration path from traditional implementations to Step Functions workflows
• How service integrations can reduce code dependencies and simplify Lambda functions
• The testing trade-offs when moving external calls from code to state machine configurations
• Benefits of decreased cold starts and fewer external dependencies in your functions
• Practical considerations for workflow testing when using AWS service integrations
• Guidelines for evaluating when service integrations provide net positive value to your architecture
