Amazon Simple Notification Service
open-in-new
<h2 id="description">Description</h2> <p>Amazon SNS uses the <a href="/facts/Publish%2fsubscribe/d2aH1etM">publish/subscribe</a> model for delivery of messages.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> Recipients subscribe to one or more 'topics' within Amazon SNS. This may be hidden from the user as an internal part of a <a href="/facts/Mobile_app/r7vp6meo">mobile app</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> Receipt of a message may also be hidden from the user: this service is largely aimed at the internal processing of specific apps rather than as a generic email substitute. A game might receive bonus-level announcements or unlock keys for in-game purchases by this route. A ticket booking app could use it for confirmation vouchers, boarding passes or notifications of a delay to a flight. </p> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul><li><a href="http://aws.amazon.com/sns/">Official website</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Jeff Barr (7 April 2010).
