I really like the ability to optionally add features to a REST API using AWS
CDK. Here is a StepFunction definition that can be configured to query a lambda
if present:

I'm reminded of this because now I need to add it to Azure flavor of
@bifravst.
On Bifravst we use this for the Cell Geolocation resolution, which can
optionally call a 3rd party API (in this case UnwiredLabs). All that's needed to
turn this on or of is setting one parameter (the API key).

This is super nice because it adds a tiny overhead (one hardcoded condition in a
StepFunction) but makes plug-and-play features possible.
