AWS Flow Framework Documentation
The AWS Flow Framework
Each AWS Flow Framework is designed to work idiomatically in the language for which it is designed, so you can work naturally with your language of choice to implement workflows with all of the benefits of Amazon SWF.
There is an AWS Flow Framework for Java. The AWS Flow Framework for Java Developer Guide provides information about how to obtain, set up and use the AWS Flow Framework for Java.
