AWS SES Production request
Hey everyone, I’m launching my first SaaS platform and wanted to ask for advice around transactional email providers. After watching Corbin’s videos, I remember the recommendation to avoid the big expensive email platforms where possible and use something more cost-effective like AWS SES or Mailgun. During development, I’ve been using AWS SES in sandbox mode and it’s been working well. I also built the app’s email architecture around being ready for SES production usage. I recently requested SES production access, but AWS rejected the request without giving a specific reason. (Screenshot attached) Is this normal for a new startup / new AWS account? What would you recommend from here? Should I move to something like Mailgun, Resend, Postmark, or another provider first, build some sending history/reputation, and then try SES again later once the platform has more traction? Would love to hear what others have done in this situation. Thankyou :)

@Josue Hernandez Thanks, that makes sense. I’m on shared IP for now since it’s early-stage/low volume transactional email. I’ll warm it up slowly and move to dedicated later if volume becomes consistent enough. :)
