AWS SNS + Lambda Setup - Step by Step Tutorial

In this video, I show you how to connect an AWS SNS Topic to a Lambda Function. I walk you through the steps of creating the topic and all the settings you need to know about. Next I setup the SNS Subscription which connects the SNS Topic to the Lambda Function. I also speak about how you would connect a SNS and Lambda function in DIFFERENT AWS accounts. Finally, I publish a message and verify the Lambda Function is processing it.

Is there a way to pass the event structure in an SNS message to lambda? E.g. my lambda function is expecting
name = event['name']
phone = event['phone']
etc. I attempted to pass a dict object as the message body but this didn't work
{"name":"joe", "phone":"111111111"}
If I can get this to work then eventually I want to call the SNS message using boto3.

Do you see any advantages in using “sns->sqs->lambda” vs “sns->lambda”?

[@silentknightss]

Can u create tutorial for this using serververless framework…?

[@tehsimo]

How do I get that cursor?

[@kavyanlavti3862]

how to send SMS through SNS

[@undefined_cat]

It would be better to show at end of every video total bill

[@BeABetterDev]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@eugensunic]

Doesn't explain much. Based on the video one can conclude that SNS and SQS are the same stuff. You can publish a message from sqs attach a lambda prior to that to listen to it and you get the same scenario
