> AWS step functions are really the best in orchestration.

At our company, AWS Step is a disaster. You're effectively writing code in JSON/YAML. Anything beyond very simple steps becomes 2 pages of YAML that's very hard to read or write. There is no way to debug, polling is mostly unusable. Changes need to be deployed with CF which can take forever, or worse hang.

It's the most one of the most annoying technologies I've used in my 20+ years of engineering.
