The downside is that if you have a lot of volume, especially on relatively short workflows, the costs can be prohibitive. This change allows you to set a workflow as `Express` and along with minor usage changes means you get billed via time to manage state transitions instead of being charged per state transition. + +There is an official AWS post for all the details, so [swing by there](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-step-functions-express-workflows-high-performance-low-cost/) for more information. + + #### RDS Proxy **What it is** Moves connection handling from the Lambda layer to the RDS Proxy layer to help curb the issues around reaching connection maximums.
