Solving concurrency challenges with AWS Step Functions

Asynchronous architectures are everywhere in modern cloud development, but they bring unique concurrency challenges that can trip up even experienced engineers. When your Step Functions are running wild and your downstream services are getting overwhelmed, you need practical solutions that actually work in production.In this episode we will cover:Why traditional SQS concurrency controls fall short with asynchronous Step FunctionsHow to implement semaphore-based concurrency control using native AWS service integrationsManaging workflow-level concurrency limits for protecting third-party dependenciesEntity-level concurrency control to prevent simultaneous operations on the same resourceCombining multiple semaphore strategies for complex real-world scenariosKnown limitations and scaling considerations when using DynamoDB for concurrency controlA practical coupon redemption example that demonstrates these patterns in actionFor more details check ⁠here⁠.If you are interested in more information about software development and architecture, subscribe for free to our ⁠newsletter⁠.---https://architecturecorner.substack.com
