infra: email notifications might be a bit spotty (awful.systems)

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

Wait, we had the option of e-mail notifications?

oh boy, I may have cursed us with even more email volume with this announcement

well, SES it is! it’s cheap as hell and email isn’t exactly mission critical outside of maybe password recovery
