Description

Hey HN, I'm Jarod. Spent 2 years at SendGrid watching developers struggle with email infrastructure. Built Wraps to fix the SES setup problem.One command or package (CDK & Pulumi) deploys production email infra to your AWS account: `npx @wraps.dev/cli email init`~30 seconds to configure SES, DKIM/SPF, event tracking, and sandbox exit. You own everything—we just provide the tooling.Key decisions: - BYOC: Deploys to your AWS, you pay AWS directly for sending - Zero credentials stored: OIDC federation only - Open source CLI/SDK: MIT licensed, free forever - No lock-in: Send emails and SMS from YOUR AWS account.Dashboard with templates/analytics/broadcasts/automations is $10-149/month, tiered around the number of custom events you send. CLI and SDK are free.Tradeoffs: You need an AWS account. If you want zero AWS involvement, the managed services are solid. Happy to discuss architecture decisions or answer questions.
