Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Simple Email Service

Amazon SES is currently being used by our team (Mobile/ IoT) to send customized emails to users in reaction to events.
  • It provides a simple syntax to create templates for customized emails
  • It has a great rate limit once moved out of the sandbox
  • Nice mechanisms to handle bounce and replies
  • The AWS console needs to provide a GUI to create a template for an email rather than developers having to use the CLI or SDKs
  • The initial sandbox limits are too low for any production application
  • SES has reduced development time and abstracted away a lot of technical difficulties for sending templated emails and hence increased productivity
It is best suited for sending customized emails to users in reaction to events from other AWS services.
It is less appropriate for just sending out notification emails in which case SNS should be used.
