Resend: Email for developers
Excerpt
- **Emails going to spam**: All too often emails are marked as spam even when they are legit. We believe that deliverability is a shared responsibility between the customer and the service provider, which means we work together with you to maximize email deliverability. - **Poor observability**: Most tools keep you in the dark without knowing what really happened after you sent an email. Resend exposes all the events associated with your email. - **Slow performance**: Current solutions only offer a single region for email sending (us-east-1), even when all your end users are located in another part of the world. Starting next week, we'll allow you to choose what region your emails should be sent from (Europe, LATAM, or APAC) which minimizes latency and improves time-to-inbox. - **Templates that users don't engage**: Startup teams don't have time the time to learn all the nuances of email development. We're offering a white glove service to help you implement a template that can generate better results. - **Designed for marketers only**: Existing solutions are too generic and built exclusively for product marketers and product managers. We're building a developer-first platform with a clean REST API and SDKs for Node.js, Python, Ruby, Elixir, Go, and Java.
Related Pain Points
Poor observability in email delivery
6Most email service providers offer limited visibility into what happens after an email is sent, making it difficult to debug delivery failures and understand the full lifecycle of sent messages.
Single-region email sending causes latency
5Email providers traditionally only support a single sending region (us-east-1), forcing users with geographically distributed end-users to accept increased latency and slower time-to-inbox regardless of where recipients are located.
