+###### Important
+
+For high-volume placement systems, we recommend using standard (non-FIFO) Amazon SNS topics rather than FIFO topics. FIFO topics have lower publishing limits than standard topics, which can lead to throttling exceptions during high load. If you experience throttling with FIFO topics, you may lose queue placement notifications.
