+  Description from https://states-language.net/#appendix-b
+
+  Use the States.UUID intrinsic function to return a version 4 universally unique identifier (v4 UUID) generated using random numbers.
+  For example, you can use this function to call other AWS services or resources that need a UUID parameter or insert items in a DynamoDB table.
+
+  The States.UUID function is called with no arguments specified:
+
+  "uuid.$": "States.UUID()"
+  The function returns a randomly generated UUID, as in the following example:
+
+  {"uuid": "ca4c1140-dcc1-40cd-ad05-7b4aa23df4a8" }
+*/
+
+const { v4: uuid } = require('uuid')
