5. The Lambda layers improve cold start. No, it does not. It may improve your development/testing time, but the performance will not be better.

Be cautious with memory usage. For example, most of the time, 512 MB is preferable to 256 MB or 128 MB, which results in more CPU credits, faster execution, and potentially lower costs. Increasing memory alone will not always be the most cost-effective solution.

4. The Lambda function is only meant for small tasks. No. The lambda function can run for up to 15 minutes. The max function memory is 10GB. The memory is not just a number but a controller for the performance of a lambda function. When you increase the memory, it also increases the CPU credits.

And in every 10 seconds, Lambda will scale up to another 1000 instances. Note that the first instant 1000 instances are more than enough for most use cases.

3. The Lambda function scaling is instant. No. Lambda has a limit on how fast your functions can scale. Your instant execution environment instance is 1000.

2. The Lambda function scaling is infinite. No. Check your account limits. If you open a new account, you will get 10 concurrent executions by default. You need to request more concurrent executions.

The existing web solutions weren't really solving this issue. You never know where your sensitive data ends up, and those annoying ads keep popping up everywhere. Not to mention the browser tab chaos!

So, I built a desktop app that solves these pain points. Meet SelfDevKit

not if you follow best practices

I just requested AWS SES prod access for my new account, which I deployed SelfMailKit.

Generally, it takes 1-2 business days + follow-up questions, but this time, it took less than a min and automatically granted prod access.

Why? Because SelfMailKit follows the best practices

#10. Of course, dark and light themes are also part of this launch

#9. Battle-tested, secure, scalable and cost-efficient.

It's designed to send from tens of emails to millions of emails. SelfMailKit follows best practices.

It's heavily optimized for cost, and sending millions of emails just costs a few dollars
March 31, 2025 at 7:10 PM
#8. Smart warm-up

Let SelfMailKit automatically manage email sending for brand-new domains.

The sending number will gradually increase over the upcoming days until it's warmed up.

#7. Analytics

We all love analytics. SelfMailKit provides detailed metrics like open and click tracking, bounce reports, complaints, etc. More is also coming
March 31, 2025 at 7:10 PM
#6. Team collaboration.

Invite team members with different roles. Create API keys, templates, and more with granular permissions.
