(Amazon employee here, but I have no idea what the SQS/SNS groups are doing.)
I always wished that SQS/SNS/Kinesis/et. al. could all be grouped under an "AWS Pub/Sub" brand that encompasses those features. I understand how those systems interact, but damn, it can be confusing so someone who's new.
- scarface74 8y agoI agree. When I first start getting my feet wet in AWS, I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why would something as basic as the fanout pattern be missing with SQS. I read the documentation and thought I had to be missing something until I figured out that you had to use SNS+SQS. That still is completely illogical. That being said, I made it an edict on my team that no process could put anything directly in an SQS queue, they had to use SNS and subscribe it to a queue. But, keep making things obtuse. The more obtuse things are with AWS the more money I will be able to charge in my next life as an overpriced AWS Architect.
