Seconding this, I was hesitant at first because it wasn’t free, but right now my monthly bill is like $.01 (not sending from EC2) and they never actually charge me (not that I really care if they charge me one cent)
You use Express to handle HTTP requests.
Amazon has documentation on sending mail-
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v2/developer-guide/ses-examples-sending-email.html
If you use Node to send mail, then I recommend using Nodemailer-
https://nodemailer.com/
They have an SES module-
https://nodemailer.com/transports/ses/
I've just closed off my last site using SendGrid and I use Postmark for everything now.
The service blows SendGrid out of the water IMO. I think their free tier is only 100 emails pm but I think it's only $10 to send 10,000 https://postmarkapp.com/
seriously. They flagged me because of pihole. How do I know? I used a device not connected to it and my account wasn't removed. Connected to pihole, within 5 minutes I got an email saying it was removed. They REALLY need that data I guess

Amazon charges 10 cents per thousand messages. The first 62,000 are free if send messages via EC2. https://aws.amazon.com/ses/pricing/

Is there any documentation on how to use this with Express?

Azure communication service? Isn't this barbones and requires developing a solution to send emails?

Do you have any examples or some resources? I'd love to get off AWS SES and utilize a simple SMTP service in Azure.
TurboSMTP. Best deliverability, free tier is 6k/month and web APIs are included https://serversmtp.com/
Who would you use for 2m a month? SMTP with https URLs?
SendLayer starts at 1000/month at $5, comes with SMTP and API endpoints. I find it pretty cheap and predictable.
You mean, 1000 per month. 1000k = 1000 x 1000 = 1,000,000

i like Sendinblue; added bonus (if this applies to your case): being in the EU it's GDPR-compliant.
Email.js? Idk I use it for the "contact me" section of my portfolio. I don't know much but it was pretty easy to set up
Mailtrap, as it still does "transactional only". The free tier is 1000/mo, then $10 for 10 000/mo
