This post is about how to build an AWS Step Functions state machine and how you can use it to interact with IoT edge devices. In this case, we are sending a smoothie order to a "robot" and waiting for it to make that smoothie.

The state machine works by chaining together a series of Lambda functions and defining how data should be passed between them (if you're not sure about Lambda function, take a look at this blog post!). There's also a step where the state machine needs to wait for the smoothie to be made, which is slightly more complicated - we'll cover that later in this post.
