AWS Messaging for your mobile application
By reading this article carefully, You can get a sound idea about AWS Messaging. And I recommend viewing this article if you are going to use or integrate AWS Messages for your application.
Introduction
AWS messaging services enable different software systems and end devices–often using different programming languages, and on different platforms–to communicate and exchange information. You can use AWS messaging services to send and receive data in your cloud applications.
Match Messaging to your Use-Case
Amazon MQ
Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service for Apache ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ that makes it easy to set up and operate message brokers on AWS. Amazon MQ reduces your operational responsibilities by managing the provisioning, setup, and maintenance of message brokers for you. Because Amazon MQ connects to your current applications with industry-standard APIs and protocols, you can easily migrate to AWS without having to rewrite code.

Benefits
Migrate quickly
Connecting your current applications to Amazon MQ is easy because it uses industry-standard APIs and protocols for messaging, including JMS, NMS, AMQP 1.0 and 0–9–1, STOMP, MQTT, and WebSocket. This enables you to move from any message broker that uses these standards to Amazon MQ by simply updating the endpoints of your applications to connect to Amazon MQ.
Offload operational responsibilities
Amazon MQ manages the administration and maintenance of message brokers and automatically provisions infrastructure for high availability. There is no need to provision hardware or install and maintain software and Amazon MQ automatically manages tasks such as software upgrades, security updates, and failure detection and recovery.
Durable messaging made easy.
Amazon MQ is automatically provisioned for high availability and message durability when you connect your message brokers. Amazon MQ stores messages redundantly across multiple Availability Zones (AZ) within an AWS region and will continue to be available if a component or AZ fails.
Amazon SQS
Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables you to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. SQS eliminates the complexity and overhead associated with managing and operating message-oriented middleware and empowers developers to focus on differentiating work. Using SQS, you can send, store, and receive messages between software components at any volume, without losing messages or requiring other services to be available. Get started with SQS in minutes using the AWS console, Command Line Interface or SDK of your choice, and three simple commands.
SQS offers two types of message queues. Standard queues offer maximum throughput, best-effort ordering, and at least one delivery. SQS FIFO queues are designed to guarantee that messages are processed exactly once, in the exact order that they are sent.
Pricing
Benefits
Eliminate administrative overhead
AWS manages all ongoing operations and underlying infrastructure needed to provide a highly available and scalable message queuing service. With SQS, there is no upfront cost, no need to acquire, install, and configure messaging software, and no time-consuming build-out and maintenance of supporting infrastructure. SQS queues are dynamically created and scale automatically so you can build and grow applications quickly and efficiently.
Reliably deliver messages
Use Amazon SQS to transmit any volume of data, at any level of throughput, without losing messages or requiring other services to be available. SQS lets you decouple application components so that they run and fail independently, increasing the overall fault tolerance of the system. Multiple copies of every message are stored redundantly across multiple availability zones so that they are available whenever needed.
Keep sensitive data secure
You can use Amazon SQS to exchange sensitive data between applications using server-side encryption (SSE) to encrypt each message body. Amazon SQS SSE integration with AWS Key Management Service (KMS) allows you to centrally manage the keys that protect SQS messages along with keys that protect your other AWS resources. AWS KMS logs every use of your encryption keys to AWS CloudTrail to help meet your regulatory and compliance needs.
Scale elastically and cost-effectively
Amazon SQS leverages the AWS cloud to dynamically scale based on demand. SQS scales elastically with your application so you don’t have to worry about capacity planning and pre-provisioning. There is no limit to the number of messages per queue, and standard queues provide nearly unlimited throughput. Costs are based on usage which provides significant cost saving versus the “always-on” model of self-managed messaging middleware.
Amazon SNS
Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) is a fully managed messaging service for both application-to-application (A2A) and application-to-person (A2P) communication.
The A2A pub/sub functionality provides topics for high-throughput, push-based, many-to-many messaging between distributed systems, microservices, and event-driven serverless applications. Using Amazon SNS topics, your publisher systems can fan-out messages to a large number of subscriber systems including Amazon SQS queues, AWS Lambda functions, and HTTPS endpoints, for parallel processing, and Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose. The A2P functionality enables you to send messages to users at scale via SMS, mobile push, and email.
Benefits
Modernize and decouple your applications
Amazon SNS enables you to modernize your applications and decouple them into smaller, independent components that are easier to develop, deploy and maintain. Leveraging a pub/sub-event-driven architecture for your application improves performance, reliability, and allows each component to scale independently.
Send messages directly to millions of users
Amazon SNS enables you to send messages or notifications directly to users with SMS text messages to over 200 countries, mobile push on Apple, Android, and other platforms or email (SMTP). Amazon SNS provides redundancy across multiple SMS providers and allows you to push mobile notifications using a single endpoint for all platforms.
Reliably deliver messages
Amazon SNS uses a number of strategies that work together to provide message durability. To start, published messages are stored across multiple, geographically separated servers and data centers. If a subscribed endpoint isn’t available, Amazon SNS executes a message delivery retry policy. To preserve any messages that aren’t delivered before the delivery retry policy ends, you can create a dead-letter queue. You can also subscribe to Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery streams to SNS topics, which allows messages to be sent to durable endpoints such as Amazon S3 buckets or Amazon Redshift tables.
Automatically scale your workload
Amazon SNS leverages the proven AWS cloud to dynamically scale with your application. Amazon SNS is a fully managed service, taking care of the heavy lifting related to capacity planning, provisioning, monitoring, and patching. The service is designed to handle high-throughput, bursty traffic patterns and enables you to send millions of messages per second.
Ensure accuracy with message ordering and deduplication
Amazon SNS FIFO topics work with Amazon SQS FIFO queues to ensure messages are delivered in a strictly ordered manner and are only processed once (deduplicated). This enables you to maintain consistency when processing transactions across a single or multiple independent services where it’s critical that messages are in the correct order. It also allows you to offload the effort of writing custom code for ordering and message deduplication.
Simplify your architecture with Message Filtering
Amazon SNS helps you simplify your pub/sub messaging architecture by offloading the message filtering logic from your subscriber systems, and message routing logic from your publisher systems. With Amazon SNS message filtering, subscribing endpoints receive only the messages of interest, instead of all messages published to the topic. Amazon CloudWatch gives visibility into your filtering activity, and AWS CloudFormation allows you to deploy subscription filter policies in an automated and secure manner.
