# Code examples for Step Functions using AWS SDKs
<a name="sfn_code_examples"></a>

The following code examples show you how to use AWS Step Functions with an AWS software development kit (SDK).

*Basics* are code examples that show you how to perform the essential operations within a service.

*Actions* are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

*Scenarios* are code examples that show you how to accomplish specific tasks by calling multiple functions within a service or combined with other AWS services.

# Learn the basics of Step Functions with an AWS SDK
<a name="sfn_example_sfn_Scenario_GetStartedStateMachines_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to:
+ Create an activity.
+ Create a state machine from an Amazon States Language definition that contains the previously created activity as a step.
+ Run the state machine and respond to the activity with user input.
+ Get the final status and output after the run completes, then clean up resources.

 To run this code example, place the chat_sfn_state_machine.json file into your project's resources folder.

 You can obtain the JSON file to create a state machine in the following GitHub location:

 https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/resources/sample_files

 Before running this Kotlin code example, set up your development environment,
 including your credentials.

 For more information, see the following documentation topic:
 https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-kotlin/latest/developer-guide/setup.html

 This Kotlin code example performs the following tasks:

 1. List activities using a paginator.
 2. List state machines using a paginator.
 3. Creates an activity.
 4. Creates a state machine.
 5. Describes the state machine.
 6. Starts execution of the state machine and interacts with it.
 7. Describes the execution.
 8. Deletes the activity.
 9. Deletes the state machine.

# Actions for Step Functions using AWS SDKs
<a name="sfn_code_examples_actions"></a>

The following code examples demonstrate how to perform individual Step Functions actions with AWS SDKs. Each example includes a link to GitHub, where you can find instructions for setting up and running the code. 

These excerpts call the Step Functions API and are code excerpts from larger programs that must be run in context. You can see actions in context in [Scenarios for Step Functions using AWS SDKs](sfn_code_examples_scenarios.md). 

 The following examples include only the most commonly used actions. For a complete list, see the [AWS Step Functions API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/apireference/Welcome.html).

# Scenarios for Step Functions using AWS SDKs
<a name="sfn_code_examples_scenarios"></a>

The following code examples show you how to implement common scenarios in Step Functions with AWS SDKs. These scenarios show you how to accomplish specific tasks by calling multiple functions within Step Functions or combined with other AWS services. Each scenario includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code. 

Scenarios target an intermediate level of experience to help you understand service actions in context.

#### [ Python ]

**SDK for Python (Boto3)**  
 Shows how to use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) with AWS Step Functions to create a messenger application that retrieves message records from an Amazon DynamoDB table and sends them with Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS). The state machine integrates with an AWS Lambda function to scan the database for unsent messages.   
+ Create a state machine that retrieves and updates message records from an Amazon DynamoDB table.
+ Update the state machine definition to also send messages to Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS).
+ Start and stop state machine runs.
+ Connect to Lambda, DynamoDB, and Amazon SQS from a state machine by using service integrations.
 For complete source code and instructions on how to set up and run, see the full example on [GitHub](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/python/cross_service/stepfunctions_messenger).

# Build and orchestrate generative AI applications with Amazon Bedrock and Step Functions
<a name="sfn_example_cross_ServerlessPromptChaining_section"></a>

The following code example shows how to build and orchestrate generative AI applications with Amazon Bedrock and Step Functions.

------
#### [ Python ]

**SDK for Python (Boto3)**  
 The Amazon Bedrock Serverless Prompt Chaining scenario demonstrates how [AWS Step Functions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/welcome.html), [Amazon Bedrock](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/what-is-bedrock.html), and [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/agents.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/agents.html) can be used to build and orchestrate complex, serverless, and highly scalable generative AI applications. It contains the following working examples:   
+  Write an analysis of a given novel for a literature blog. This example illustrates a simple, sequential chain of prompts. 
+  Generate a short story about a given topic. This example illustrates how the AI can iteratively process a list of items that it previously generated. 
+  Create an itinerary for a weekend vacation to a given destination. This example illustrates how to parallelize multiple distinct prompts. 
+  Pitch movie ideas to a human user acting as a movie producer. This example illustrates how to parallelize the same prompt with different inference parameters, how to backtrack to a previous step in the chain, and how to include human input as part of the workflow. 
+  Plan a meal based on ingredients the user has at hand. This example illustrates how prompt chains can incorporate two distinct AI conversations, with two AI personas engaging in a debate with each other to improve the final outcome. 
+  Find and summarize today's highest trending GitHub repository. This example illustrates chaining multiple AI agents that interact with external APIs. 
 For complete source code and instructions to set up and run, see the full project on [GitHub](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-bedrock-serverless-prompt-chaining).   

**Services used in this example**
+ Amazon Bedrock
+ Amazon Bedrock Runtime
+ Amazon Bedrock Agents
+ Amazon Bedrock Agents Runtime
+ Step Functions

# Use Step Functions to invoke Lambda functions
<a name="sfn_example_cross_ServerlessWorkflows_section"></a>

The following code example shows how to create an AWS Step Functions state machine that invokes AWS Lambda functions in sequence.

------
#### [ Java ]

**SDK for Java 2.x**  
 Shows how to create an AWS serverless workflow by using AWS Step Functions and the AWS SDK for Java 2.x. Each workflow step is implemented using an AWS Lambda function.   
 For complete source code and instructions on how to set up and run, see the full example on [GitHub](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/javav2/usecases/creating_workflows_stepfunctions).   

**Services used in this example**
+ DynamoDB
+ Lambda
+ Amazon SES
+ Step Functions
