I like how Cloudflare is taking a serious run at AWS. And you can't even subscribe a program to a SNS topic and Cloudflare is giving us pub/sub.

- nullwarp 4y agoFWIW with AWS, despite the naming, the IoT Core MQTT broker is an excellent product for exactly this - it's just sold as IoT specific. It's really just an MQTT broker at it's core and could probably be split off into it's own product without the IoT branding.
- manigandham 4y agoAWS has several "pub/sub" like services: SNS, IoT MQTT, Managed Kafka, Kinesis, EventBridge, etc.
- VectorLock 4y agoAnd they're all kinda fucky, like SNS handles a lot but you can't write a program to receive events.
- manigandham 4y agoWhat do you mean by "receive events"? SNS can deliver to any HTTP endpoint.
- sieabahlpark 4y agoPeople are butt hurt that SNS doesn't allow the "subscribe" portion. A webhook is a push action. They forget SQS exists...
- VectorLock 4y agoThen you have to go through the whole process of setting up, routing, and registering an HTTP endpoint, rather than you would as a normal pub/sub simply have the program connect to the publisher and start receiving messages/events.
- manigandham 4y agoPub/sub is an architectural model so there's no real "normal" implementation, but SQS is the answer for that. SNS is the router, SQS is the storage (for more advanced push/pull consuming).
- sieabahlpark 4y agoSounds like a SQS if you want to subscribe. SNS is for push notifications?
