AWS SES

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a cost-effective email platform for sending transactional, marketing, and notification emails. It also receives incoming email and integrates with S3, SNS, and Lambda for processing.

Core Concepts

• Verified Identity — domain or email address authorized to send
• Configuration Set — tracking settings for opens, clicks, bounces
• Template — reusable email template with variable substitution
• Receipt Rule — rules for processing incoming emails
• Suppression List — addresses that bounced or complained
• Sending Quota — rate limits based on account reputation
