The Amazon SES alternative without the DevOps headache & sandbox delays

import { SadaSend } from 'sadasend';

// No AWS SDK v3 boilerplate, IAM roles, or SNS wiring needed
const client = new SadaSend(process.env.SADASEND_API_KEY!);

export async function sendWelcomeEmail(to: string, name: string) {
  const result = await client.emails.send({
    from: 'team@yourdomain.com',
    to,
    subject: 'Welcome to the Platform',
    html: `<p>Hello ${name}! Your account is active and ready.</p>`,
    tags: ['onboarding', 'welcome']
  });

  // Built-in bounce tracking and instant delivery confirmation
  console.log('Delivered without AWS CloudWatch hassle:', result.id);
  return result;
