AWS Step Functions is a serverless orchestration service that enables developers to compose distributed applications and APIs using visual workflows called state machines. It supports Standard and Express workflows, activities, parallel execution, error handling, and integrates with over 200 AWS services. Step Functions uses the Amazon States Language (ASL) for defining workflow logic as JSON-based state machine definitions.

The AWS Step Functions API enables creating, managing, and executing state machines and activities. Key operations include creating and deleting state machines, starting and stopping executions, listing execution history, managing state machine versions and aliases, tagging resources, and sending task heartbeats from activity workers. The API uses AWS Signature Version 4 (SigV4) authentication.
