Amazon SNS (Simple Notification Service) is AWS's pub/sub messaging service for sending application and event notifications, including SMS. It targets teams on AWS who need to fan out notifications and delivery, with SMS and short-code support but no voice or WhatsApp channels. There is no perpetual free SMS tier; sending is billed per message on a usage basis, placing it in the budget tier. The service is API-first and integrates with the wider AWS ecosystem. It carries a broad compliance set including SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.
