RFC: AWS Lambda durable functions #46
Description
Is this related to an existing feature request or issue?
No response
Summary
Add a plugin to help developers build applications with Lambda durable functions faster and more reliable
Use case
Reliable, multi-step serverless applications using AWS Lambda durable functions. This includes workflow orchestration, state machines, retry/checkpoint patterns, long-running stateful Lambda functions, saga pattern, agentic AI workflows, human-in-the-loop callbacks, and serverless applications.
Proposal
Add a plugin that helps AI agents build resilient, long-running AWS Lambda durable functions with automatic state persistence, retry logic, and workflow orchestration for up to 1 year execution. It will cover the replay model, step operations, wait/callback patterns, concurrent execution (map/parallel), error handling with saga pattern, testing with LocalDurableTestRunner, and deployment with CloudFormation, CDK, and SAM.
Out of scope
This is focused on Lambda durable functions and not other Lambda features such as managed instances
Potential challenges
Keeping source of truth synced between the skill we would like packaged as part of a Lambda durable functions plugin and the repo where we develop the Claude Skill and Kiro Power.
