Step Functions
Every Step Functions state machine with success/failure rate, duration and 24-hour throughput.
What this pane shows
All Step Functions state machines (both Standard and Express types), with execution counts for the configurable lookback window, success-vs-failure split, average execution duration, and a throughput sparkline. State machines with elevated failure rates are highlighted.
Key use cases
- Catch a workflow whose failure rate jumped after a recent deploy.
- Find idle state machines that haven't executed in weeks — likely deletion candidates.
- Confirm a batch workflow ran on schedule last night.
- Investigate which state machines have the longest tail-latency executions.
How to embed
lp.js is the single-entry loader: it injects the shared LightPane runtime
(and sd-embed.css) once per page. Add this pane's own stylesheet and script;
the pane mounts itself wherever the matching <div> is in the DOM.
<!-- In <head> — this pane's stylesheet -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/step-functions/step-functions.css">
<!-- Your access key (inline, or set window.lpEmbed.accessKey from your own JS) -->
<script>window.lpEmbed = { accessKey: "<your-access-key>" };</script>
<!-- Where the pane should appear -->
<div class="lp-step-functions-panel" data-lp-account="<your-account-alias>"></div>
<!-- Before </body> — shared loader + this pane's script -->
<script src="https://lightpane.io/embed/lp.js"></script>
<script src="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/step-functions/step-functions.js" defer></script>

Stage 2 wiring (2026-04-28): state-machine inventory live via lp-fetch.js (service step_functions); per-machine donut + stats via lpFetch.metrics() over CloudWatch GetMetricData (AWS/States
Mock-only at the moment — live-wiring tracked in the roadmap.
