AWS SNS: Stop Building Your Own Notification System (I Say This Having Built One) 📢⚡

I once built a notification system using cron jobs, a custom email queue, separate SMS API calls, and a Slack webhook I 'temporarily' hardcoded. It worked great until an order confirmation email arrived 4 hours late and a customer's SMS went to someone else. AWS SNS exists. I should have used it.
