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

      yep, literally just a side service in the same flake definition. only downside is you’ll need to feed logs to somewhere, and monitor queue depth. but those are both trivial (and you could even just trigger for queue depth over n for $time, because that’s enough indication of work/fail)

        huh, I kind of like it

        we’ll see how the migration goes in staging — if it’s smooth, I’ll add postfix as a todo. if there’s a bunch of problems, postfix might be the most immediate way out
