24. What's SNS and how do you use it?

Luciano and Eoin deep dive into SNS discussing what it does, how it differs from EventBridge and SQS and how you can use it to send messages to customers but also for microservices communication. In this new episode dedicated to AWS events and messaging services, we learn everything there is to know about SNS including advantages, limitations and cost. This episode complements the episode about EventBridge, giving another perspective on when to use SNS and when to pick EventBridge instead.

In this episode, we mentioned the following resources:

- Our previous episode about EventBridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjIE5qp-v8w

- Our previous episode about all things SQS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svoA-ds8-8c
