SES provides a flexible SMTP or API-based email solution that can easily scale to any size. Its affordability, reliability, and native integration with other AWS services make SES a highly popular outbound mass email service. When integrated with Datadog, users can monitor their SES metrics according to their respective importance to filter out noise. The available metrics include maximum number of emails sent in a 24 hour period, total number of emails sent in the past 24 hours, number of hard bounces, number of complaints, delivery attempts, and rejected send attempts. Users can create visualizations to keep track of these metrics over time, giving them better insight into trends in their SES performance and allowing for collaboration with their team. Integrating AWS SES with Datadog is a straightforward process that requires verifying AWS credentials and enabling the integration, after which Datadog will automatically begin gathering metrics.
