This limit makes it challenging to scale data processing workloads to process thousands of items (or even more) in parallel. In order to achieve higher parallel processing prior to today, you had to implement complex workarounds to the existing map state component. The new distributed map state allows you to write Step Functions to coordinate large-scale parallel workloads within your…
