SNS (Simple Notification Service)

Homepage

https://aws.amazon.com/sns/

What is it?

A "pub/sub" (publish/subscribe) service for notifications, basically acting as a place to store application-related notifications.

Why did we choose it?

It's a necessary part of good practice when using AWS SES (the email service).

What do we use it for?

Monitoring undeliverable emails. A notification is sent when an email bounces, allowing us to check when we should not be sending emails to a particular destination.
