"We've made fat piles of cash off of dysfunctional software for decades," said Micrsoft.

I do really like this step function pattern especially with the new JSONata flavour it’s much more approachable than the original DSL that was so painful to write and debug.

When it first came out the developer experience was awful but it’s come a long, long way. JSONata is definitely a big part of that, along with the workflow designer being available in VS Code and tolerant of placeholders (${Foo}).

The article’s callout of direct service integrations in API Gateway is also spot on. When they can be made to fit, they’re such a nice way to go.
