Alternative to Lambda for Serverless Long running tasks

I am using a AWS Step function, where I have a map task. For each item in the input to the map task, plan was to trigger a Lambda function. I had designed the wireframe as such.

But now there has been change in the function code and the new code takes around 1+ hours in CPU and there is also a possibility to run it with GPU support.

Thus, I need to replace Lambda functions with another serverless aws service. Please suggest on which service to use?

Thanks.

Maybe an Autoscaling Group that scales out EC2 machines. This way you can specify an AMI that suits your needs.

The "serverless" solution to running a task on AWS for more than 15 minutes is to run it as an ECS task with a Fargate launch type.

Step Functions can manage ECS Fargate tasks
