Making Sense of Your Options

# Under the Hood

The story begins when I want to use an email service provider for my newsletter service. I am using Node.js, precisely express.js in the backend to create an endpoint to send emails to my newsletter subscribers.

The service is simple but deciding this provider to use and since I’ve to deal with paid service because of the number of subscribers is a decision I’ve to make.
