AWS EventBridge vs Amazon SNS

Developers should use AWS EventBridge when building decoupled, scalable applications that require real-time event processing, such as microservices architectures, serverless workflows, or integrating multiple AWS services meets developers should use amazon sns when building event-driven architectures, real-time notifications, or decoupled microservices that require broadcasting messages to multiple consumers, such as sending alerts, updates, or triggers in applications like iot systems, mobile apps, or serverless workflows. Here's our take.

AWS EventBridge

Nice Pick

Developers should use AWS EventBridge when building decoupled, scalable applications that require real-time event processing, such as microservices architectures, serverless workflows, or integrating multiple AWS services

Pros

  • +It's ideal for scenarios like automating responses to infrastructure changes, orchestrating multi-step processes with AWS Step Functions, or centralizing event logging and monitoring across hybrid environments
  • +Related to: aws-lambda, aws-step-functions

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Amazon SNS

Developers should use Amazon SNS when building event-driven architectures, real-time notifications, or decoupled microservices that require broadcasting messages to multiple consumers, such as sending alerts, updates, or triggers in applications like IoT systems, mobile apps, or serverless workflows

Pros

  • +It's ideal for scenarios needing high throughput, low latency, and integration with other AWS services for seamless cloud operations
  • +Related to: aws-sqs, aws-lambda

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use AWS EventBridge if: You want it's ideal for scenarios like automating responses to infrastructure changes, orchestrating multi-step processes with aws step functions, or centralizing event logging and monitoring across hybrid environments and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Amazon SNS if: You prioritize it's ideal for scenarios needing high throughput, low latency, and integration with other aws services for seamless cloud operations over what AWS EventBridge offers.
