Another massive announcement just before re:Invent. Payload-based filtering was one of the key reasons why you'd choose EventBridge over SNS. This new feature makes SNS a much more viable option in an Event-Driven Architecture. Off the top of my head, this would: 1. allow you to use one SNS topic for many types of messages, previously one tends to have many SNS topics 2. reduce the coupling between publisher and consumer teams (i.e. no need to pester the publisher team to add a message attribute so you can filter) 3. just make message filtering easier when you're not limited to what's in the message attributes (and you can only have 10!) To be clear, there are still many reasons to choose EventBridge over SNS - event archive, replay, cross-account delivery, many more targets, etc. But for really simple use cases, SNS is now a more viable option. And not to mention, it has FIFO support, which EventBridge doesn't. So in some cases, it might be a BETTER option than EventBridge. #aws #serverless https://lnkd.in/eszZFngd

Lines between EventBridge and SNS are getting blurrier.

Honestly with this new feature in, customers are even more confused whether to use SNS or EventBridge!
