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.

Hello! Nice video. I tried this out but i cannot view the published message in the cloud watch. Is there any other way to check the published message ?

[joegenshlea]

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",

If I can get this to work then eventually I want to call the SNS message using boto3.

Can u create tutorial for this using serververless framework…?

[farzadb]

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

[undefined_cat]

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

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
