I've been using Resend to power transactional emails in my SaaS and it's been refreshingly simple. Verification emails, password resets, welcome messages, match notifications — all going out reliably without me babysitting the deliverability.
What won me over: SMTP compatibility meant zero lock-in. I use nodemailer and just pointed it at Resend's SMTP server. No SDK migration, no rewriting templates — it just worked.
The dashboard is clean, logs are useful, and I've never had to debug a "why didn't this email send" situation. For a solo developer running a multi-language app with emails in 7 locales, that reliability is everything.
If you're building anything that sends email — skip the pain of configuring your own mail server and just use Resend.

@Resend announced Automations during their launch week a month ago, and @zenorocha just posted an update on X: 518,265 automation runs since then.
Impressive!
Resend's DX is already top-tier. For the new automations, can we trigger flows based on custom metadata passed through the API, or is it strictly pre-defined events for now?
@rivra_dev, you can use custom events as a trigger.

This feature is exactly what I've been waiting for — it makes arrangement so much more intuitive. Huge thanks to the @Resend team!
