Zero-latency transactional email on Vercel Edge runtime with lightweight HTTP dispatch
Bypass heavy SMTP connection pools and socket timeouts. SadaSend runs natively on Vercel Edge Functions, Serverless Functions, and Next.js 15 Server Actions with fast delivery.
Drop into your application in under 60 seconds
Native typed interfaces with zero unnecessary dependencies. Built for standard fetch and modern edge runtimes.
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
import { SadaSend } from 'sadasend';
export const runtime = 'edge';
const sadasend = new SadaSend(process.env.SADASEND_API_KEY);
export async function POST(req: Request) {
const { email, name } = await req.json();
const result = await sadasend.emails.send({
from: 'hello@yourdomain.com',
to: email,
subject: `Welcome to our platform, ${name}!`,
html: `<h1>Welcome aboard, ${name}!</h1><p>Your workspace is active.</p>`,
});
return NextResponse.json({ success: true, messageId: result.id });
}Next.js 15 Edge Route Handler running in Vercel Edge Runtime using global fetch with zero Node.js socket polyfills.
Engineered for high deliverability and zero incident risk
Every layer from edge connection pooling to per-key rate limits is designed to keep critical transactional dispatches fast, reliable, and contained.
Native Vercel Edge Runtime
Engineered for global edge runtimes with zero dependency on Node.js net, tls, or stream modules that break serverless edge builds.
Zero Cold-Start Handshake Lag
Eliminates the 800ms TCP/TLS connection handshake overhead typical of legacy SMTP clients on spin-up.
Next.js 15 Server Actions
Trigger emails directly from async server action functions with type-safe response contracts and automated error bubbling.
Preview Deployment Isolation
Use recipient allowlists to ensure Vercel preview branch deployments automatically restrict email dispatch to team domains.
React Email Template Support
Write beautiful JSX email components and render them directly into clean, responsive HTML strings at the edge.
Real-Time Edge Webhooks
Receive open, bounce, and delivery events directly into Vercel route handlers with HMAC signature verification.
SadaSend vs Nodemailer (Legacy SMTP on Vercel)
Why Vercel developers replace Nodemailer and legacy SMTP drivers with SadaSend edge-first HTTP dispatch.
| Feature & Capability | SadaSend | Nodemailer (Legacy SMTP on Vercel) |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel Edge Runtime Compatibility | Fails (Requires Node.js net/tls) | |
| Cold-Start Latency Impact | One fetch call, no SMTP handshake | 800ms–2,500ms SMTP handshake |
| Connection Pooling Headaches | None (Stateless HTTP/2) | Socket exhaustion on high concurrency |
| Preview Environment Protection | Automated recipient allowlist | Manual code conditionals required |
| Native Next.js 15 Server Actions | Requires complex wrapper scripts | |
| Free Tier Volume | 6,000 sends forever | No hosting or delivery included |
Start with 3,000 emails every month at zero cost
No artificial paywalls on security. Unlike legacy providers that reserve recipient allowlists or dedicated IP pools for high enterprise tiers, every SadaSend account receives full safety controls from day one.
