AWS Pinpoint migration to AWS End USer Messaging

AWS Pinpoint is indeed being discontinued, with support ending on October 30, 2026. However, the transition to AWS End User Messaging for push notification capabilities is more of a rebranding than a full migration requiring API changes.

Here's what this means for your push notification use case:

1. The APIs related to mobile push (along with SMS, voice, OTP, and phone number validate) are not impacted by the Pinpoint discontinuation and will continue to be supported under AWS End User Messaging.

2. You can continue using the same APIs for push notifications without changes. The renaming to AWS End User Messaging doesn't require code modifications for these specific communication channels.

3. Regarding endpoints: There's a distinction between the marketing-related endpoints (used for campaigns, journeys, and segmentation) and the communication endpoints used for push notifications. The push notification endpoints functionality remains available in AWS End User Messaging.

4. The documentation may seem confusing because while the core messaging APIs remain the same, the marketing features of Pinpoint (campaigns, journeys, segmentation, and analytics) are being discontinued.

For your push notification use case, you can continue using the same APIs and endpoint functionality under the AWS End User Messaging brand. The documentation for push notifications has been moved to the new AWS End User Messaging Push User Guide, which should provide more detailed information specific to your needs.

If you're only using push notifications and not the marketing features of Pinpoint, the transition should be seamless with no required changes to your implementation.
