Optimize your AWS Step Functions costs with these tips

Use Intrinsic Functions

Since you are billed by the number of transitions of your step function, it might be worthwhile to refactor your step functions to use intrinsic functions instead of Lambda or ECS tasks. If you are able to refactor such a state transition to an intrinsic function you might save on the number of transitions.

Switch To Express Workflows

Express workflows have some limitations, for example a maximum duration of 5 minutes and they do not support some integration patterns. However, these limitations come at a significant cost saving. Express Workflows are about 25x cheaper compared to Standard Workflows. You must however consider the refactoring of your step function.
