Amazon Simple Email Service
Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a cloud-based email sending service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that enables developers to send transactional, marketing, and bulk emails reliably and at scale. It handles email delivery, including bounce and complaint processing, and integrates with other AWS services for enhanced functionality. SES is designed to be cost-effective, with pay-as-you-go pricing and high deliverability rates.
Developers should use AWS SES when building applications that require automated email notifications, such as user registration confirmations, password resets, or order updates, especially in high-volume scenarios like e-commerce or SaaS platforms. It is ideal for ensuring email deliverability and compliance with anti-spam regulations, and it integrates seamlessly with AWS Lambda for serverless email processing or Amazon S3 for storing email logs.
