Create and publish to a FIFO Amazon SNS topic using an AWS SDK

The following code examples show how to create and publish to a FIFO Amazon SNS topic.

Java

Note

There's more on GitHub. Find the complete example and learn how to set up and run in the AWS Code Examples Repository.

This example

• creates an Amazon SNS FIFO topic, two Amazon SQS FIFO queues, and one Standard queue.

• subscribes the queues to the topic and publishes a message to the topic.

The test verifies the receipt of the message to each queue. The complete example also shows the addition of access policies and deletes the resources at the end.
