Ask HN: How is your experience with Amazon SES?
Currently we use Sendgrid and are looking for more affordable alternatives without compromising on deliverability (5m emails sent/mo).
How has your experience been using Amazon SES? Any areas where it is lacking?
- mrobins 4y agoI use both in different applications. Overall SES is no-frills but does exactly what it says it will. Deliverability is on par with SendGrid assuming your traffic is legitimate and not spammy. The main difference is that SES lacks significant tooling. You need to roll your own monitoring, logging and block list maintenance, all of which can be a surprise coming from tools like SendGrid. Once you do all the work though, it’s largely set it and forget it.
- donatj 4y agoSES has been fine for us, but our use case is basically limited to raw text notification emails. I use Mailjet for my personal projects very happily but have never crossed over the free threshold of 6,000 monthly emails.
