AWS Glue is a fully managed ETL (extract, transform, load) service that makes it easy to orchestrate data pipelines. Using the AWS Glue workflow to run Lambda functions and glue jobs is the easiest and least expensive option because it's a fully managed service that requires no additional workflow tools or infrastructure to configure and manage. Other options require additional tools or resources to configure and manage, and are therefore more expensive to manage.
Step Functions is a managed service for building serverless workflows. You define a state machine that orchestrates the execution sequence. This eliminates the need to manage and maintain your own workflow orchestration server like Airflow.
Step Functions can handle both Lambda and Glue in this scenario, making it the best choice.
