SES is a managed service and ideal for sending bulk emails at scale
SES acts as an outbound email server and eliminates the need to support own software or applications to do the heavy lifting of email transport.
Existing email server can also be configure to send outgoing emails through SES with no change in any settings in the email clients
Maximum message size including attachments is 10 MB per message (after base64 encoding).
Compatible with SMTP
Applications can send email using a single API call in many supported languages Java, .Net, PHP, Perl, Ruby, HTTPs etc
Optimized for highest levels of uptime, availability and scales as per the demand
Provides sandbox environment for testing
Production SES has a set of sending limits which include
Sending Quota – max number of emails in 24-hour period
Maximum Send Rate – max number of emails per second
SES automatically adjusts the limits upward as long as emails are of high quality and they are sent in a controlled manner, as any spike in the email sent might be considered to be spams.
Limits can also be raised by submitting a Quota increase request.
