The parts that matter

REST API + OpenAPI 3.1 spec

GET /v1/openapi.json. Use it with any auto-gen tool. Postman collection on GitHub.

SDKs: Node, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, Java

All open source. Same API shape across languages. Dependency-light — no transitive nightmare.

SMTP relay on 587/465

Existing code that speaks SMTP works without changes. Per-message metadata via X-Relayly-* headers.

Free tier with full feature parity

3,000 sends/month forever. Real DKIM, real webhooks, real dashboard — not a hobbled trial.

Test mode (ek_test_)

Drop into CI without burning quota or spamming yourself. Sends are accepted, signed, and logged but never delivered.

Self-serve domain verification

DNS-record-based, validated in seconds. The dashboard polls every 10s and flips green when ready.

Code shape

Three-line send.

Three-line send
import Relayly from "@relayly/node";
const r = new Relayly({ apiKey: process.env.RELAYLY_API_KEY });
await r.email.send({ to: [{ email: "u@example.com" }], from: { email: "hi@yourdomain.com" }, subject: "Hi", html: "<p>Hi.</p>" });

Why us specifically

The honest answers to "but why not just X?".

Why not just curl SES directly?

You can. You'll then write the abstraction we wrote: domain verification UI, suppression list, bounce parser, webhook signing, idempotency, region pinning, reputation tracking, retry orchestration. We've already shipped it.

Why not SendGrid's Node SDK?

Twilio's account hierarchy bleeds through their SDK. Our SDK is one credential, one client, one method per resource. Easier to wrap, easier to mock in tests.

How do I switch from another provider?

The /migrate hub has playbooks for SendGrid, Klaviyo, Resend, Mailgun, Postmark, Mailchimp, Constant Contact, ActiveCampaign, and HubSpot. Most teams complete the swap in an afternoon.

Try it on the path you actually have

Free tier covers most pilot traffic. 5 minutes from signup to first email.
