Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)

We use it for many purposes : Mainly to do monitoring and alerting. For instance we use it to send alerts via Microsoft Teams using Webhooks. For others scenarios we use it to send messages to some specific APIs we have.
  • Very easy to setup
  • Scale very well
  • Covers a wide range of protocols and services
  • It would be useful to have more information regarding the origin of a message (ie its source)
  • It would be nice to configure HTTP-related stuff (such as header) when interacting with a HTTP target
  • Alerting via HTTP webhooks
  • Sending emails very easily
  • One tool to unify various notifications systems : sms, email, http webhooks !
