Can you elaborate on this a bit? Why are you scared of SNS? Data loss / latency etc?
- jeffbarr 14y agoYes, please. Let me know and I'll make sure that the team sees it.
- jaytaylor 14y agoSNS is frequently a huge PITA to get working, often requiring SSH tunnels and the like.
- Zombieball 14y agoNot sure I follow. Could you elaborate how SNS would require an SSH tunnel to work? I've never encountered this issue in environments I have worked in.
- jaytaylor 14y agoI looked into this and I was actually mistaken - I was referencing SES, not SNS. Apologies!
- malachismith 14y agoThe idea that SNS isn't first-in, first-out is scary enough to me - but the fact that it's also "at least one copy will be delivered" (rather than "only one copy") makes it kind of insane.
