This document provides a comprehensive guide to configuring Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) for sending emails from your Node.js applications. We will cover setting up IAM permissions, verifying email addresses and domains, and configuring the AWS SDK in your Node.js project.
Prerequisites:
- An AWS Account: You need an active AWS account.
- Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed: Ensure you have Node.js and npm set up on your development machine.
- AWS CLI (Optional but Recommended): The AWS Command Line Interface is helpful for programmatic IAM user creation and retrieving domain verification details. Install it from AWS CLI documentation.
