AWS SES is ugly. SendGrid is old. Email APIs haven't innovated.
The Growth Engine
Elevated Developer Experience (DX): Resend's growth engine was built on the tactical intersection of 'Modern Design' and 'Developer Utility'. By launching `react-email`, an open-source library to build templates with React, they captured the mindshare of frontend developers before they even chose an email provider. Their focus on minimal, high-performing APIs and a 'premium' aesthetic made them the aspirational choice for modern startups who wanted their transactional emails to reflect their own high brand standards.
