Knock App

As an aside, we used Knock here as a way to quickly integrate the transactional email service, build an email template, and send a test email through each service, without needing to write service-specific integration code. Knock can also take care of managing our email templates, giving us cross-provider analytics, and sending cross-channel notifications to other in-app and out-of-app channels like push, SMS, and Slack.

AWS Simple Email Service (SES) touts itself as "a cost-effective, flexible, and scalable email service". It's a product offering from Amazon Web Services and is designed to send high volumes of transactional emails. AWS SES is lighter on features than some of the other services we're comparing in this list, but if you're already deployed within AWS or use any other products within the AWS suite it might be worth considering as an option.
