Amazon SNS Extended Client Library for Java
The Amazon SNS Extended Client Library for Java enables you to publish messages that are greater than the current SNS limit of 256 KB, up to a maximum of 2 GB. It saves the actual payload in S3 and publishes the reference of the stored S3 object to the topic. Subscribed SQS queues can use Amazon SQS Extended Client Library to dereference and retrieve the payload from S3. Other end-points, such as Lambda, can use Payload Offloading Java Common Library for AWS to dereference and retrieve the payload.
Getting Started
- Sign up for AWS -- Before you begin, you need an AWS account. For more information about creating an AWS account, see create and activate aws account.
- Minimum requirements Java 8 (or later) and Maven 3.
- Download -- Download the latest preview release or pick it up from Maven:

</dependency>S3 Message Storage Configuration
The library relies on the Payload Offloading Java Common Library for AWS for message storage and retrieval. The following S3 message storage configuration options are available:
- Custom message size threshhold: messages with their payload and attribute size exceeding this limit will automatically be stored in S3. It is also possible to force all messages to be stored in S3.
- Custom KMS key configuration for server-side encryption
- Bucket name for storing message payloads
Publishing messages to SNS topics and receiving them from SQS subscribers
Below is the code sample that creates a sample topic and queue, subscribes the queue to receive messages from the topic and publishes a test message. The message payload is stored in S3 and the reference to it is published. The SQS Extended Client is used to receive the message.
