Introduction

What is SNS?

  • SNS stands for Simple Notification Service.

  • Provides a low-cost infrastructure for the mass delivery of messages, predominantly to mobile users.

  • SNS acts as a single message bus that can message to a variety of devices and platforms.

  • SNS uses the publish/subscribe model for push delivery of messages.

  • SNS enables us to decouple microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications using fully managed pub/sub.

  • Publishers communicate asynchronously with subscribers by producing and sending a message to a topic, which is a logical access point and communication channel.

  • Subscribers i.e., web servers, email addresses, SQS queues etc., consume or receive the message or notification over one of the supported protocols when they are subscribed to the topic.

  • Recipients subscribe to one or more "topics" within SNS.

  • Using SNS topics, the publisher systems can fan out messages to a large number of subscriber endpoints for parallel processing, including Amazon SQS queues, AWS Lambda functions, and HTTP/S webhooks.

  • SNS is reliable in delivering messages with durability.

  • SNS can help in automatically scale the workload.

  • Using topic policies, you can keep messages private and secure.
