AWS Step Functions orchestrate a state machine workflow. State machine workflows are defined using Amazon States Language.

Terraform exposes the underlying AWS public API for Step Functions through the aws_sfn_state_machine and aws_sfn_activity resource types. For example code, the Terraform registry has resource documentation and examples.

It is important to note that for state machines, the definition of the workflow is in the Amazon States Language, a JSON-based, structured language used to define your state machine, a collection of states, that can do work (Task states), determine which states to transition to next (Choice states), stop an execution with an error (Fail states), and so on.

This means that any workflow example in JSON will work, regardless if you find it for CloudFormation, AWS CLI, or Terraform.

Terraform documentation for Step Functions

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/sfn_state_machine

Sample projects for Step Functions

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/create-sample-projects.html


Here is a basic example from the Terraform documentation:

resource "aws_sfn_state_machine" "sfn_state_machine" {
  name     = "my-state-machine"
  role_arn = aws_iam_role.iam_for_sfn.arn

  definition = <<EOF
{
  "Comment": "A Hello World example of the Amazon States Language using an AWS Lambda Function",
  "StartAt": "HelloWorld",
  "States": {
    "HelloWorld": {
      "Type": "Task",
      "Resource": "${aws_lambda_function.lambda.arn}",
      "End": true
    }
  }
}
EOF
}
