The SDK extends AWS Lambda’s event-driven model to support multi-step functions that automatically checkpoint progress and pause for long durations, useful for workflows involving automation and approval gates. It integrates into existing Go tools, enabling native Go development for durable functions.
Developers can locally test workflows without AWS credentials using included packages and linting tools. The SDK packages functions as static binaries on a provided runtime, simplifying deployment. It facilitates callback handling and efficient suspension for complex, long-lived workflows across multiple steps.
