A serverless email server on AWS using S3 and SES

My team and management (who is even older than I am so he’s not a young idealist by any means) are aggressively “killing as many pets” as possible and going all in on managed services and serviceless - including lambda, Fargate (Serverless Docker), CodeBuild (Serverless builds), AWS SFTP (getting rid of our sftp server).

Don’t get me started on the “cloud consultants” who were just a bunch of old school net ops folks who only knew how to click around on the web console and duplicate and on prem infrastructure.

Yes, working for small companies I’ve had to manage servers and networks back in the day in addition to development.

We would even go with “Aurora Serverless” for our non production environments if it had feature parity with regular Aurora.

To bolster you argument a bit..

I have a background in systems engineering building public/private cloud from hardware(cab and networking physical and logical provisioning) to VM provisioning automation and tooling. I've provided managed server, PHP hosting, Mail, and just about any other form of support you can imagine an ISP/Hosting provider needing to provide.

These days I deal more with full stack development and SRE type work. I ACTIVELY AVOID running servers, using tools like Chef and Ansible, and running kubernetes clusters unless there is a strong value proposition for them that can't be ignored. This despite the fact that I have no gatekeepers and ton of experience with all of them.
