Example ​

ts
import * as dynamodb from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-dynamodb';

// create a table
const table = new dynamodb.Table(this, 'montable', {
  partitionKey: {
    name: 'id',
    type: dynamodb.AttributeType.STRING,
  },
});

const finalStatus = new sfn.Pass(this, 'final step');

// States language JSON to put an item into DynamoDB
// snippet generated from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/tutorial-code-snippet.html#tutorial-code-snippet-1
const stateJson = {
  Type: 'Task',
  Resource: 'arn:aws:states:::dynamodb:putItem',
  Parameters: {
    TableName: table.tableName,
    Item: {
      id: {
        S: 'MyEntry',
      },
    },
  },
  ResultPath: null,
};

// custom state which represents a task to insert data into DynamoDB
const custom = new sfn.CustomState(this, 'my custom task', {
  stateJson,
});

// catch errors with addCatch
const errorHandler = new sfn.Pass(this, 'handle failure');
custom.addCatch(errorHandler);

// retry the task if something goes wrong
custom.addRetry({
  errors: [sfn.Errors.ALL],
  interval: Duration.seconds(10),
  maxAttempts: 5,
});

const chain = sfn.Chain.start(custom)
  .next(finalStatus);

const sm = new sfn.StateMachine(this, 'StateMachine', {
  definitionBody: sfn.DefinitionBody.fromChainable(chain),
  timeout: Duration.seconds(30),
  comment: 'a super cool state machine',
});

// don't forget permissions. You need to assign them
table.grantWriteData(sm);
