Amazon SNS Primary Use Case
Our company uses the solution as a message-oriented middleware to provide message delivery from the publisher to the subscriber.
When we create a lambda function or an SNS, the solution publishes the message to a group of distributions in Teams or Outlook.

For example, we can implement a Dynamo DV and a couple of different triggers to communicate with Lambda. We implemented SNS modules into Lambda and Lambda communicated with SNS.

Considering the setup we use in our company, Amazon SNS is useful due to its most basic functionalities, like the notification services. Amazon SNS provides notifications if any server is down, the utilization of the servers, the traffic part, any interruptions in the server, and when you need to export some logs from CloudWatch to S3. You have to subscribe to the kind of emails you want to receive from Amazon SNS to review the information the tool provides, which is free of cost.

We use this SNS for sending out notifications to the endpoints. The endpoints could be the email address or distribution lists or another channel. In my company, I use the SNS notifications for a Slack channel, as well as an email distribution list.
It is an ETL tool. It's used for data extraction, loading and getting an output. It's also used for data analytics and data engineering. We have configured the SNS in such a way that the developers can work on the Matillion tool run multiple jobs in their language. Whenever there's any success in the job which they run, a notification will be triggered for which SNS is used on the cloud.

SNS can be used for a lot of things. There are six different subscriber types available at the moment and among them, we use the SMS, email, and push notifications. We use the SMS and Email services to notify admins whenever something goes wrong, but our primary use case is to send push notifications to our mobile devices (customers).
The backend engineers work on setting it up on AWS and most of the features like SMS, Email, etc do not need any frontend intervention, but yes for push notifications, the frontend needs to use the SDK to capture and display them.

I have been using Amazon SNS within my Learning Management System or LMS. I use SNS with .NET services to send push notifications to mobiles to tell parents about the progress of their kids. We send push notifications to mobile devices and emails.
Amazon SNS is a pretty reliable service, and it is fully managed. We don't have to manage anything. Amazon totally manages everything for us. We just have to integrate the SNS service with our microservice or backend service and trigger an action to throw notifications or messages. We just trigger a notification to go to all subscribers.
I am using the latest version of this solution in my current product, which has .NET code. This solution is deployed on the cloud. We are using Elastic Beanstalk for .NET deployment and Amazon SNS for our server. We then send notifications to subscribed users or specific devices that are interested in or have subscribed to our topic.
