Open source the visualization component?

Hi Soamvasani,

Thanks for reaching out. We hope you find the open source project useful!

I am a PM with the Step Functions team. We have had internal discussions around open sourcing the workflow graph component. Can you please help us understand your use-case and how you would benefit from having the workflow graph open sourced?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan, thanks for your response. I'm building some developer tools for step functions; i.e. the output of my tool is a step function. It would be nice to be able to visualize the graph, just as this project does.

I don't actually need it to be completely open source for my use case -- just documented and usable (e.g. I tried to invoke the minified scripts, but I get some errors that are hard to debug, so it would be easier to have the code.) Alternatively, an AWS API that returns a graph SVG would work too, though it seems a bit overkill to have an API for this.

Hi Soam,

I've created a ticket internally with this request and will get back to you within a week or so with an update. A downloadable .svg of the workflow image is something that has been widely requested by customers.

Hi again, @dan-amz 🙂 Any updates?

Hi Soam, Apologies for the delay in my response. We are continuing to evaluate options for visualization that will cover off the different use-cases required by our customers. Would you be open to a 1/2 hour conference call to discuss? If so, please PM me.

Thanks,
Dan

@dan-amz Yeah, happy to chat! I can't seem to find your contact info here -- my email is [email protected], could you send me an email please?
