infra: email notifications might be a bit spotty
we’ve exceeded the usage tier for our email sending API today (and they kindly didn’t email me to tell me that was the case until we were 300% over), so email notifications might be a bit spotty/non-working for a little bit. I’m working on figuring out what we should migrate to — I’m leaning towards AWS SES as by far the cheapest option, though I’m no Amazon fan and I’m open to other options as long as they’ve got an option to send with SMTP
Wait, we had the option of e-mail notifications?
oh boy, I may have cursed us with even more email volume with this announcement
well, SES it is! it’s cheap as hell and email isn’t exactly mission critical outside of maybe password recovery
come on just run the mail yourself, we had all those posters a few weeks back tell us it was so easy~~~
I remember when I first signed up for awful.systems I never got an email that I was approved (because y'know it was a baby website at the time). So I forgot about it for a couple weeks and then was like "oh yeah maybe that went through".
I've used SMTP2go. It was adequate for the needs of the organisation I worked for.
that one’s in the running too!
