Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)
The Amazon SNS service provides support to a wide variety of needs including critical events notification, monitoring hybrid mobile applications both on ios and android, time-sensitive information updates. We are in the process of scaling our projects to include Amazon SNS in business workflow systems to relay events among apps, move data between data stores or update records in billing systems.
The product is very useful in managing key event notifications. We also plan to use it for our customers to update them about our new features and critical outages. The scope of our use case is both for managing AWS backend events within the organizational workflows and also for notifications to our customers.

Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) is well integrated in AWS and has been there since the early days of public cloud. It is a cost effective and very inexpensive solution to meet the needs of event notifications and custom messaging. Wish to share that there is considerable number of developers who can easily build solutions using AWS SNS. So, training costs are minimal. Other solutions are emerging and we are seeing a great usage especially of Firebase notifications because of its very neat integration with open source cross platform hybrid app frameworks like ionic, xamarin. SNS needs to become better and should have plugin support for the mobile application developers using low code/no code tools too.
