Self-Hosted Vessel Email Alerts with AWS Lambda and SES

The thing you actually want is an email. Not a dashboard you have to remember to open. Not a webhook you have to write a server for. An email — the kind your bank sends when a charge clears, the kind your airline sends when the gate changes — that quietly arrives in your inbox and tells you the Ever Given just entered Suez, or that one of your chartered tankers' ETA has shifted by six hours. VesselAPI sends notifications as webhooks and WebSocket messages. That's the right contract for software,
