It's an interesting article, thanks for sharing it.

I was just wondering about something, did you use step functions in an asynchronous way and lambda synchronous from API gateway?

Looking at the codebase, it is an Express state machine executed synchronously:

Also lambda is executed synchronously.

Thanks for the feedback @sirmomster
I will give the article an update to be more precise in the general setup section.

Yes, like @gerardketuma already wrote: both lambda and the state machine are executed synchronously. In this case I used an express state machine.
