Resend
Transactional email API built for developers. Simple SDK, React Email support, and good deliverability. Powers contact forms, notifications, and password resets.
Resend is a transactional email API built for developers. It provides a simple SDK, supports React Email for building email templates with React components, and focuses on deliverability.
I use Resend for contact forms, notifications, and transactional emails. The SDK is minimal - sending an email is a single function call with a clean API. React Email integration means you can build and preview email templates using the same component patterns as your frontend.
Deliverability is solid, which is the most important thing for transactional email. The dashboard gives you visibility into delivery status, opens, and bounces. The free tier handles most personal project volumes, and pricing scales reasonably as you send more.
Other Infrastructure tools
Cloudflare
DNS, CDN, and edge security. Fast propagation, free tier, and DDoS protection. I use it for domain management, SSL, and sometimes Workers for lightweight edge logic.
Namecheap
Domain registrar with competitive pricing and straightforward management. I use it to register and renew domains, then point them at Cloudflare or hosting.
