- Synopsis
- A gateway for various cloud notification services
- Description
pinpon
is a gateway for various cloud notification services, such as the Amazon AWS SNS service.Think of
pinpon
as a hub for dispatching notifications originating from multiple notification sources. Clients of thepinpon
service create topics and send notifications via the REST-ishpinpon
service, and thepinpon
server takes care of the per-service details and communicating with the upstream cloud services.Advantages of this approach, compared to programming directly to the individual notification services' interfaces, are:
A common API for all supported notification services.
The secret credentials required to communicate with each cloud notification service can be kept in a central location (namely, the
pinpon
server), rather than being distributed to each notification source host, therefore reducing the attack surface.Hosts which send notifications via the
pinpon
gateway can be firewalled from the public Internet. This is especially useful in IoT applications.
Currently-supported notification services:
Amazon AWS SNS
