Postmark is free up to 100 mails / month. But mail deliverability issues are a hell that I'm happy to pay a small fee to avoid.

I tried to use App Engine flex for my application, but it seems to only support the simplest of apps. `gcloud app deploy` would always time out after about 10 mins with DEADLINE_EXCEEDED due to the Docker build taking too long. It was not w
