Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)

It is used within our team(Mobile/Iot Development) to notify us developers in case anything within our AWS account needs attention. The primary target of most of our notifications is an email to the developers, whereas sometimes we do trigger Lambda functions using SNS.
  • Multiple mediums for notifications like email, HTTP, Lambda etc
  • Easy to set up the pub sub model
  • Debugging is difficult
  • It has helped our team to be alerted quickly to undesirable changes in our AWS environment so that immediate action can be taken. Hence it has saved us a lot of time and money due to quick action.
It is best suited for sending notifications based on events in the AWS realm. It can be used to alert the developers in case of undesirable activity as well as be used as a medium for sending notifications to production applications
