Amazon SNS (Simple Notification Service) is a fully managed Amazon messaging service that allows large number of subscribers using different delivery protocoles, such as HTTP/HTTPS, email, SQS, SMS and AWS Lambda.
This guide demonstrates how to create a Spring Boot application that subscribes to and processes messages from an SNS topic.
The infrastructure, built using AWS CDK (in Java), includes the following components:
A VPC with a public Subnet to host an EC2 instance where the Spring Boot application will run.
An Internet Gateway to provide the EC2 instance with internet access for downloading dependencies.
An SNS Topic for publishing messages.
An EC2 Instance for hosting the Spring Boot application.
An IAM Role to grant the EC2 instance permissions to receive messages from the SNS topic (critical for secure communication).
The code creates a Spring Boot application that subscribes to and processes messages from an SNS topic.
Finally, add a controller designed to handle incoming notifications from an AWS SNS (Simple Notification Service) topic.
