Abstract
The Simple Notification Service or simply SNS is a notification service that allows fast and time-sensitive message delivery, in bulk, to multiple subscribers in a single instance. This service operates on a push mechanism which allows the sender to broadcast messages via several endpoints like email, SMS, HTTP, and so on. The sender usually creates a topic to which the recipients can subscribe. Let us first understand what a topic is. A topic is nothing but a channel of communication to which the sender or a publisher can publish their messages. This will automatically send the published message to all the receivers who have subscribed to that specific topic.
This is a preview of subscription content, log in via an institution to check access.
