A basic example that demonstrates using AWS Step Functions with a Lambda function, written in Python.
# Install dependencies
$ pip install -r ./requirements.txt
# Create and configure a new stack
$ pulumi stack init stepfunctions-dev
$ pulumi config set aws:region us-east-2
# Preview and run the deployment
$ pulumi up
# Start execution using the AWS CLI (or from the console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/states)
$ aws stepfunctions start-execution --state-machine-arn $(pulumi stack output state_machine_arn)
# Remove the app and its stack
$ pulumi destroy && pulumi stack rm -y
