Step Functions is a service that lets you coordinate the components of distributed applications and microservices using visual workflows.
You can use Step Functions to build applications from individual components, each of which performs a discrete function, or task, allowing you to scale and change applications quickly. Step Functions provides a console that helps visualize the components of your application as a series of steps. Step Functions automatically triggers and tracks each step, and retries steps when there are errors, so your application executes predictably and in the right order every time. Step Functions logs the state of each step, so you can quickly diagnose and debug any issues.
Step Functions manages operations and underlying infrastructure to ensure your application is available at any scale. You can run tasks on Amazon Web Services, your own servers, or any system that has access to Amazon Web Services. You can access and use Step Functions using the console, the Amazon Web Services SDKs, or an HTTP API. For more information about Step Functions, see the Step Functions Developer Guide .

If the given state machine Amazon Resource Name (ARN) is a qualified state machine ARN, it will fail with ValidationException.
A qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine. For example, the qualified state machine ARN arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:stateMachineName/mapStateLabel refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in the state machine named stateMachineName.
StartExecution is idempotent for STANDARD workflows. For a STANDARD workflow, if StartExecution is called with the same name and input as a running execution, the call will succeed and return the same response as the original request. If the execution is closed or if the input is different, it will return a 400 ExecutionAlreadyExists error. Names can be reused after 90 days.
StartExecution is not idempotent for EXPRESS workflows.
The name of the execution. This name must be unique for your Amazon Web Services account, region, and state machine for 90 days. For more information, see Limits Related to State Machine Executions in the Step Functions Developer Guide.
A name must not contain:
white space
brackets < > { } [ ]
wildcard characters ? *
special characters " # % \ ^ | ~ ` $ & , ; : /
control characters (U+0000-001F, U+007F-009F)
To enable logging with CloudWatch Logs, the name should only contain 0-9, A-Z, a-z, - and _.
