SNS delivery failures.

Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) is a widely used service for sending messages to various endpoints, such as email, SMS, and other AWS services. However, SNS delivery failures can hinder communication and impact your business operations. Whether you're using SNS for application alerts, notifications, or event-driven workflows, resolving delivery failures is critical to ensure messages are reliably transmitted. Informatix Systems provides expert solutions to diagnose and fix SNS delivery failures, optimizing your messaging setup.

What Are SNS Delivery Failures?

SNS delivery failures occur when a message sent through Amazon SNS fails to reach the intended recipient. There are several potential causes for these failures, including misconfigurations, service issues, or incorrect permissions. Common examples include:

• Email delivery failures (e.g., bounced emails, blacklisting)

• SMS delivery failures (e.g., invalid phone numbers, carrier issues)

• Lambda or HTTP endpoint delivery failures (e.g., misconfigured endpoints, timeouts)

• Subscription issues (e.g., unconfirmed subscriptions, incorrect protocols)

These failures can delay critical notifications and affect your system’s ability to respond to events in real time.

Common Causes of SNS Delivery Failures

1. Incorrect Subscription Configuration
   If the recipient’s endpoint (e.g., email address, phone number, or Lambda function) is misconfigured or not subscribed correctly, the message will not be delivered.

2. Endpoint Failures or Downtime
   Delivery failures may occur if the endpoint you are trying to send notifications to is down, unavailable, or experiencing technical issues.

3. Message Format or Size Issues
   SNS messages that exceed size limits or contain unsupported formats may fail to be delivered to recipients.

4. IAM Permissions Issues
   SNS relies on IAM roles and policies for authorization. If the permissions are incorrectly set, SNS may not be able to send messages.

5. Network or Connectivity Issues
   Temporary network issues or interruptions can cause SNS to fail to deliver messages to external endpoints.

6. Subscription Confirmations Pending
   If a subscription is not confirmed, SNS will not deliver messages to that endpoint. It’s important to ensure that subscription confirmations are completed.

7. Invalid Phone Numbers for SMS Delivery
   SNS SMS messages may fail to be delivered if the phone number is invalid or if the number is not supported by the carrier.
