SNS is a cloud service for the mass delivery of messages.
It is a fully managed publish-subscribe messaging and mobile communication service.
It can be event-driven, with automated services responding to triggers.
Distributed systems and micro services can be decoupled with messaging between them through AWS SNS.
Application-to-person messaging to users is possible with SMS, mobile push, and email.

AWS SNS can publish messages to many different endpoints:
- HTTP and HTTPS
- Email and Email-JSON
- AWS SQS
- Applications
- AWS Lambda
- SMS (depending on region)
The Difference between SQS and SNS
