What’s Amazon SES?

As the name and the one-liner under it says, it’s for receiving and sending emails. we will cover sending part of it in this article.

There was a time when we used to spend so much time and resources setting up our SMTP servers for sending that one congratulatory email to the user who newly signed up to our website. AWS’ SES makes it all simple (relatively).

Benefits

  1. Saved resources and no developer’s time wasted in setting up that SMTP server which is used only when the user forgets the password for their account.
  2. No hundred lines of code to call your SMTP server.
  3. fast and simple!

Steps

  1. Setup SES/ Verify Email
  2. Setup credentials
  3. Setup your Email application.
  4. Move out of Sandbox.
  5. Use your own domain (optional)
