Parallel processing is a common computing approach to help solve large problems in a shorter period of time. By running the components of a problem concurrently, the total duration is greatly reduced. Effective parallel processing requires scalable computing capacity but also adds complexity for you to orchestrate the parallel components and to produce a consistent result. In this session, learn how to leverage AWS Step Functions and AWS Lambda to achieve cloud-scale parallelism for your workloads.
