AWS Simple Notification Service (SNS) is a fully managed messaging service that allows you to send push notifications to mobile devices, email, SMS, and other endpoints. In this tutorial, we will learn how to set up and use AWS SNS for implementing push notifications in your applications.
Before we get started, make sure you have an AWS account and have the necessary permissions to create and manage SNS topics and subscriptions.
1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and navigate to the SNS service.
2. Click on "Create topic" and provide a name and display name for your SNS topic.
3. Once the topic is created, take note of the ARN (Amazon Resource Name) for future reference.
1. Select the topic you just created and click on "Create subscription".
2. Choose the protocol (such as email, SMS, or a mobile device) and enter the endpoint details.
3. Confirm the subscription by following the instructions sent to the endpoint.
