Social recommendations and mentions

We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about Amazon SNS and what they use it for.
  • Serverless Site Health Check Notification System
    This blog details how you can use some key serverless components from AWS like Amazon Eventbridge, AWS Lambda, and Simple Notification Service to setup a system that will monitor your site (which can be running anywhere) and send emails, text messages, slack messages, and more when the reachability status of your site changes. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
  • WebSockets, gRPC, MQTT, and SSE - Which Real-Time Notification Method Is For You?
    Compare this to a stateless communication mechanism like Amazon SNS or other Webhook implementation where the connection is not persistent and the communication is one-way. These are intended to be used as a response to an event and inform subscribers without maintaining a continuous connection or keeping memory of previous interactions. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
  • Programmatically reacting to S3 bucket external access exposures
    Let's make it simple and add an SNS topic target to the rule. We can add multiple different subscribers to the topic. Any time when Access Analyzer creates a new finding, SNS can, for example, send an email or a customized Slack message. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago
  • Receiving Slack notifications when CloudTrail logging gets turned off
    Of course, Slack is not the only way to receive notifications. EventBridge integrates with many target services, both AWS and 3rd parties. For example, we can set up email or phone text message alerts in SNS, or add a different target if business needs require. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago
  • Debugging SQS subscription issues to topics
    The key service that publishes messages to its subscribers is Simple Notification Service (SNS). We can add multiple different subscribers to a topic, for example, email addresses, phone numbers, or SQS queues. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
  • Customizing error handling in Step Functions
    The Next field contains the next state after Step Functions has caught any NotFoundError. In this case, it'll be the Send email notification state, which could be anything reasonable for the use case, for example, invoking another Lambda function or publishing a message to an SNS topic for the notification. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago
  • Sending notifications from CodeCatalyst Workflows in March 2023
    Luckily one of the “core actions” is the possibility to trigger a Lambda function and this is what we are going to use here to be able to trigger advanced notifications using Amazon SNS. In our example we are going to use this to send an eMail to a specific address, but you can also use any other destinations supported by SNS like SMS or AWS ChatBot. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
  • Domain-Driven Design (DDD) in AWS. Find Your Business Domains.
    When you start defining "Core Domains and Subsequent Domains" the question that usually arises is how to manage requests between domains.To do this, we'll look at options for using AWS services for how domains can be implemented. Containerisation or serverless diagram of such solutions would rather be a 'modern architecture' than a good old-fashioned network and virtual machine deployment diagram. The advantage... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
  • Serverless Orchestration
    Amazon SNS or Simple Notification Service, is less of an orchestration service and more of a communication service. I am going to deem this a utility service, since it is a small service you can utilize for sending and receiving messages. One of the most common use cases for the SNS service is to send email alerts - maybe to developers to monitor application status, or maybe to users, to communicate new features... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
  • AWS Beginner's Key Terminologies
    Amazon SNS (application integration) Amazon Simple Notification Service is a web service that applications, users, and devices can use to instantly send and receive notifications from the cloud. Https://aws.amazon.com/sns/. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • Send slack notifications with AWS Chatbot
    In order to send notifications to Slack, we used SNS and Lambda. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • How to set up a custom email domain through SES and SNS using (mostly) CloudFormation
    Simple Notification Service (SNS) SNS is a service that can send notifications either to other applications or to end user through email, sms or a push notification. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • Bring AWS Notifications Into Your Slack Channel

  • Ask HN: Best No/Low-code solution to creating a notification service?
    Perhaps use a readily available solution? https://aws.amazon.com/sns/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • How have you implemented Apple Push Notification services?
    For our old app we used and modified Apple's PHP sample code, but it's years out-of-date. For our current app we use Amazon's SNS API, which is ok. It's not free, but it supports iOS, Android, and SMS. Source: over 1 year ago
  • .NET and Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)
    SNS, as you can probably guess from its name, is a straightforward service that uses pub\sub messaging to deliver messages. Pub\Sub, or Publish\Subscribe, messaging is an asynchronous communication method. This model includes the publisher who sends the data, a subscriber that receives the data, and the message broker that handles the coordination between the publisher and subscriber. In this case, Amazon SNS is... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • Twillio the only way to send transactional SMS?
    I have researched (but never used in production) SNS https://aws.amazon.com/sns/. Watching this post though, because I'd like to see if there is a defacto standard people like. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Amazon CloudFront for your tech stack
    CloudFront not only helps with content delivery network but it features some fantastic monitoring and report capabilities. We can set alarms to each of the distribution when the requests are crossing a threshold and use Amazon SNS' topic as the destination for notification. CloudFront supports logging and these are logged on Amazon CloudWatch making all the logs and metric dashboard with requests and responses... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • What Is Data Gravity And Is It Important With Serverless?
    Events - According to the serverless design principles, you should be building your applications to trigger transactions from events. Events come from many sources, like SNS, SQS, and EventBridge. In a fault-tolerant application, you should be storing off events so you can replay them in a recovery scenario. Services like EventBridge have an event archive which does just that. This creates another source of data... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
  • Toyota remote engine start subscription
    Btw, AWS has SNS to do texts, might want to loop in SQS, and would be using it for user authentications for login or password resets. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Solutions Architect Tips: How to Design Around Serverless Service Limits
    Amazon SNS has a default limit of 100,000 topics per account (or 1,000 FIFO topics). However, you can only have 200 subscription filter policies per account. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
