Follow these steps to build a serverless data pipeline with AWS Lambda and Step Functions for a Python application:
- First, design your data processing workflow, identifying each step that can be executed as a separate Lambda function.
- Implement Lambda functions in Python for each processing step, such as data collection, transformation, and analysis. Also, use the AWS Step Functions to orchestrate these Lambda functions, defining a state machine that represents your data processing workflow.
- Trigger this workflow through events like new data uploads to S3, scheduled events, or API Gateway requests.
- Monitor and log the execution of your workflow using AWS CloudWatch.
This approach allows you to create a scalable, flexible, and cost-effective data processing pipeline that can handle complex workflows and large volumes of data.
