Hello KentStop,
Good day!
Thank you for posting here.
Regarding your concern about Amazon SWF, while it can handle complex workflows and ensure task uniqueness, it is an older service than Step Functions. As such, it might be more complicated to manage and integrate.
AWS Step Functions provides simplified workflow management, orchestration, and native integration with other AWS services. It also provides a visual interface for easier workflow design and debugging. The service provides guarantees around task assignment and prevents duplication in task processing.
Therefore, AWS Step Functions is preferable over Amazon SWF due to its modern design, ease of integration with AWS services, and built-in support for avoiding duplicate tasks.
I hope this clarifies your question. Thank you.
