Run AWS workshops
without the AWS setup headache
Thrubit's Trainer Toolkit gives instructors everything they need to run hands-on Step Functions workshops — Free Solo access, student licenses, pre-built workflows, and co-branded materials. Your students build real state machines from day one. ZERO API costs. Zero latency. No AWS account required.
Everything you need to teach Step Functions professionally
Approved trainers get a complete package — not just a license, but the materials and support to deliver workshops your students will actually remember.

Built for anyone who teaches Step Functions professionally
If you're helping people learn AWS Step Functions in any structured setting, the Trainer Toolkit is for you. We work with instructors across bootcamps, universities, corporate L&D teams, and conference workshops.
- Cloud & AWS instructors Teaching Step Functions, serverless, or cloud architecture as part of a certification or course curriculum
- Bootcamp instructors Running intensive workshops where students need to be up and running fast without fighting AWS account setup
- University & college professors Incorporating real-world workflow orchestration into cloud computing, software engineering, or data engineering courses
- Corporate technical trainers Delivering internal Step Functions enablement for engineering teams adopting serverless or migrating to AWS
- Conference workshop facilitators Running hands-on re:Invent, AWS Summit, or community day sessions where setup time is the enemy
The first 20 minutes of a workshop shouldn't be spent on AWS account setup
The biggest barrier to teaching Step Functions isn't the concepts — it's the friction. AWS account creation, IAM roles, credential configuration, and billing alerts before a single state machine runs. Thrubit eliminates all of it.
- No AWS account required for students Students download Thrubit and are executing state machines in under five minutes. No cloud setup, no credit card, no IAM policy debugging.
- Zero API costs during exercises Bedrock and SQS mocks mean AI-powered and event-driven workflow exercises cost nothing. Students can run and re-run executions freely.
- Visual execution makes concepts click The real-time visual debugger shows each state transition as it happens — far more effective than reading CloudWatch logs after the fact.
- 60+ real-world examples to teach from Don't build exercises from scratch. Use pre-built industry workflows as starting points, then have students modify and extend them.

What teams are saying
Real feedback from engineers, trainers and decision makers.
“Thrubit cut our Step Functions debugging cycle from 15 minutes per iteration down to seconds. The visual trace is worth the price alone. It’s become an essential part of our development workflow.”
“I was looking for ways to make Step Functions and Lambdas more tangible for students. Thrubit makes it significantly easier to visualize workflows and experiment locally, accelerating real understanding.”
“Thrubit saves us over $24k a year & protects us from surprise AWS bills. One rogue state machine once cost us 10x our typical month. With Thrubit, that risk is gone and our developers iterate faster.”
