AWS Step Functions to AWS Lambda or Amazon ECS

AWS Step Functions → AWS Lambda → AWS Fargate

Create a Step Functions workflow to invoke either a Lambda function or ECS Fargate task.

When a new file is uploaded to the S3 Bucket, the Step Functions workflow is invoked to process the file. Based on the file type, the Step Functions workflow will invoke either the Lambda function for image jobs or the Fargate task for video jobs.
