Simple Notification Service Integration
Explore how to integrate AWS Lambda with Amazon SNS to process messaging events. Understand setting up the function handler, using the Amazon.Lambda.SNSEvents package, and testing SNS-triggered Lambda executions.
What is Amazon SNS?
Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) is a fully managed messaging service provided by AWS. It allows us to build distributed systems and applications that can send notifications, alerts, and messages to a variety of endpoints or subscribers. These notifications can be delivered through various protocols such as email, SMS, HTTP/HTTPS, Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), AWS Lambda functions, and more.
The role of an AWS Lambda function in this setup is to listen to the notification event and execute some action in response. For example, the event may represent a customer placing an order. AWS Lambda would then trigger the processing of this order.
