This article explains how to use AWS Lambda durable functions for building multi-step applications and AI workflows. It describes features like automatic retries, state management, and execution suspension, allowing developers to handle complex scenarios efficiently. It also provides a sample order processing workflow demonstrating these capabilities.

AWS introduced Durable Functions for Lambda, allowing developers to create multi-step applications directly in their code. These functions can track progress, handle retries, and pause execution for up to a year without incurring costs. This feature streamlines state management and simplifies complex workflows.
