AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
An application needs to send notifications to multiple downstream systems simultaneously when an event occurs. Which service is best suited for this requirement?
Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) is designed for sending messages to multiple subscribers simultaneously using the publish/subscribe messaging model. It allows a publisher to send messages to a topic, which then delivers the messages to all subscribed endpoints. Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service) is intended for point-to-point messaging, where each message is consumed by a single consumer, making it less suitable for broadcasting messages to multiple recipients. AWS Step Functions orchestrates workflows, and Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is used for real-time data streaming and processing.
