Amazon SES power,
without the AWS tax

Switch in under 5 minutes
Leave the AWS complexity behind. Here's how your code simplifies.
Amazon SES (AWS SDK)
import { SESClient, SendEmailCommand }
from '@aws-sdk/client-ses';
const ses = new SESClient({
region: 'us-east-1',
credentials: {
accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_KEY,
secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET,
},
});
await ses.send(new SendEmailCommand({
Source: '[email protected]',
Destination: {
ToAddresses: ['[email protected]'],
},
Message: {
Subject: { Data: 'Welcome!' },
Body: {
Html: { Data: '<p>Hello world</p>' },
},
},
}));GetMailer
await fetch('https://getmailer.co/api/v1/email', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer gm_your_key',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
from: '[email protected]',
to: '[email protected]',
subject: 'Welcome!',
html: '<p>Hello world</p>',
}),
});No AWS SDK, no IAM roles, no region configuration. Just a simple HTTP request.
