What are major infrastructure senders (e.g., Amazon SES, Elastic Email)?

Major infrastructure providers include: **Amazon SES** (**AWS**'s email service, high volume, low cost), **Elastic Email** (cost-effective infrastructure), **SparkPost** (enterprise transactional), **Mailgun** (developer-focused **API**), and **SMTP**.com (legacy infrastructure provider).

These providers focus on volume, reliability, and cost efficiency rather than marketing features. They serve applications sending millions of messages, enterprises with custom email needs, and developers building email-enabled products.

Key differentiators: pricing models (pay-per-email vs subscription), **API** design and documentation, deliverability reputation, analytics capabilities, and support quality. Choose based on volume requirements, technical needs, and budget rather than marketing feature comparisons.
