This pattern deploys a Lambda durable function that orchestrates a multi-step AI content pipeline using Amazon Bedrock. The function uses the Durable Execution SDK to automatically checkpoint progress at each step.

The workflow: (1) generates a blog outline from a topic using Claude, (2) waits 5 seconds to simulate editorial review, (3) expands the outline into a full draft, (4) generates a summary of the draft. Each step is checkpointed, so if the function is interrupted, it resumes from the last completed step without re-invoking Bedrock.

This pattern demonstrates how durable functions eliminate the need for Step Functions in tightly-coupled AI workflows while providing built-in resilience.
