How does the DX compare against AWS step functions? My experience is that it is very difficult to “unit test” step workflows.

Step functions are an "external orchestrator". With DBOS your orchestration runs in the same process, so you can use normal testing frameworks like pytest for unit tests. Its super easy to test locally.

We have a time travel debugger that makes it super easy to test workflows. You could set them up in test and then time travel them, or even time travel completed workflows in production.
