Have you checked out the new AWS Step Functions Metrics Dashboard?
AWS just released a new observability feature for Step Functions, giving you more visibility into your workflow operations: both at the account and state machine levels.
If you’ve been managing distributed applications or data pipelines, this update will make your life easier.
You can now view usage and billing metrics directly in the Step Functions console, all in one place. The dashboard supports both Standard and Express workflows, and it includes familiar metrics like ApproximateOpenMapRunCount.
Everything is now centralized, so you no longer need to hop between CloudWatch or custom dashboards to get a clear picture of your workflow performance.
The new metrics dashboard is available in all AWS Regions where Step Functions is supported.
My take:
This is a great quality-of-life improvement for DevOps and cloud teams.
Centralized metrics mean faster insights into performance, cost, and reliability.
It’s especially helpful for teams running complex workflows who need quick visibility without extra setup.
What do you think? Will this change how you monitor your Step Functions?
