Take a look at Bridge ( https://www.getbridge.com ). You could use that to create a worker responsible for sending mail. Use Bridge to asynchronously route emails to that worker. When you need to scale your send mail worker, just fire up mo

Sorry about that. I'll update the website with pricing information soon. Basically, we have two components: Bridge and Bridge Cloud. Bridge is the actual downloadable Bridge server, and Bridge Cloud is simply the Bridge server running on a

Our interpretation is that the concept of a client and a server is no longer relevant. Clients are just machines that are over the network that you don't trust. An iPhone is more powerful than servers from 10 years ago. It's a (bad) brief e
