aws-messaging-and-streaming

An agent skill by aws, from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. Tags: analytics, architecture, automation, cloud, data.

What it does

Guides general use of AWS messaging and streaming services. Covers Amazon SQS, Amazon SNS, Amazon EventBridge, Amazon MQ, Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, Amazon Data Firehose, Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink, and Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK). Use when reasoning about messaging and streaming patterns. Also identifies which AWS service owns each customer communication channel: email (Amazon SES), and WhatsApp, SMS, MMS, RCS, voice and mobile push (the AWS End User Messaging family of services). Routes the request to the specialized skill for that channel. Defers to the channel's specialized skill when the user already named a specific channel. In general, use specific skills or documentation searches for detailed service-specific questions. Do NOT use for MSK or Managed Service for Apache Flink questions, prefer specific skills. Does not configure customer communication channels; defers to specific skills.
