## SNS

|
|
|
> SNS: Simple Notification Service
|
|
|
|
Similar to SQS but the focus is on notifications rather than messages, i.e
|
|
events that fire when something specific happens, not just a message-send event.
|
|
It can be used for passing notifications between applications or to persons
|
|
through SMS, text, push notifications and email.
|
|
|
|
**SNS pushes messages out to subscribers while SQS stores the messages until
|
|
someone reads them.**
|
|
|
|
Relation between SNS and SQS - typically paired aren't they.
