Deploy a state machine using a starter template for Step Functions

To deploy state machines for a variety of example use cases and patterns, you can choose one of the following starter templates in the AWS Step Functions console. These starter templates are ready-to-run sample projects that automatically create the workflow prototype and definition, and all related AWS resources for the project.

You can use these sample projects to deploy and run them as is, or use the workflow prototypes to build on them. If you build upon these projects, Step Functions creates the workflow prototype, but doesn't deploy the resources listed in the workflow definition.

When you deploy the sample projects, they provision a fully functional state machine, and create the related resources for the state machine to run. When you create a sample project, Step Functions uses AWS CloudFormation to create the related resources referenced by the state machine.
