About Akamai IoT Edge Connect
Provides a real-time communication and data processing protocol to Akamai-connected devices. IoT Edge Connect uses the message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) and HTTP protocols to ingest messages. It processes and delivers data back to devices in real-time, on a publish-subscribe basis. IoT Edge Connect uses the message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) and HTTP protocols to ingest messages. It processes and delivers data back to devices in real-time, on a publish-subscribe basis. The MQTT-based mechanism reads from and writes to message queues. Connecting through this interface delivers messages in topics automatically. The HTTP interface provides an HTTP-based mechanism for reading from the same message queues that are processed by the MQTT interface. Connecting through the HTTP interface delivers messages in topics on client requests via a REST API.

Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)
Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) is a fully managed messaging service for both system-to-system and app-to-person (A2P) communication. It enables you to communicate between systems through publish/subscribe (pub/sub) patterns that enable messaging between decoupled microservice applications or to communicate directly to users via SMS, mobile push and email.
The system-to-system pub/sub functionality provides topics for high-throughput, push-based, many-to-many messaging. Using Amazon SNS topics, your publisher systems can fanout messages to a large number of subscriber systems or customer endpoints including Amazon SQS queues, AWS Lambda functions and HTTP/S, for parallel processing. The A2P messaging functionality enables you to send messages to users at scale using either a pub/sub pattern or direct-publish messages using a single API.
