I am so excited! AWS Step Functions WorkFlow Studio is now part of the AWS Toolkit! Yup, that's an ASL file opened in VSCode. And ... That's me running a test state locally against resources in the AWS Cloud! Oh, and in case you were wondering, Amazon Q is GREAT with JSONata.

Last but not least, the test state for AWS Step Functions has been updated to support variables and JSONata. It gives you instant feedback as you build a state, helping you craft your JSONata expressions and data transformations. Enjoy!

Within Workflow Studio for AWS Step Functions, we’ve introduced type-ahead. As you type, we now suggest variables, JSONata expressions, and the context object, significantly simplifying development.

We’ve introduced a simplified model for handling Input Output processing - 5 fields (InputPath, Parameters, ResultSelector, ResultPath, OutputPath) have became 2 (Arguments, Output) when using JSONata.
