This project is a serverless REST API built using the Serverless Framework, AWS Lambda, and AWS SES (Simple Email Service). The API allows you to send emails by providing the recipient's email address, subject, and body text.

• Node.js
• AWS CLI (configured with appropriate permissions)
• Serverless Framework

1. Install Serverless Framework:

   • Run npm install -g serverless

2. Initialize the Project:

   • Run serverless create --template aws-nodejs --path serverless-email
   • Navigate to the project directory: cd serverless-email

3. Install Dependencies:

   • Run npm init -y
   • Run npm install aws-sdk

4. Update serverless.yml File:

   • Define the service, provider, functions, events, plugins, and IAM role statements required for sending emails using SES.

5. Create handler.js:

   • Implement the Lambda function code to send an email using AWS SES, including input validation and error handling.

6. Deploy the Service:

   • Run serverless deploy

To test the service offline:

1. Start Serverless Offline:

   • Run serverless offline

2. Test with Postman:

   • URL: http://localhost:3000/send-email

   • Method: POST

   • Headers:

     • Content-Type: application/json

   • Body:

     {
       "receiver_email": "[email protected]",
       "subject": "Test Email",
       "body_text": "This is a test email."
     }

   • Expected Responses:

     • 200 OK:

       {
         "message": "Email sent successfully"
       }

     • 400 Bad Request:

       {
         "message": "receiver_email, subject, and body_text are required."
       }

     • 500 Internal Server Error:

       {
         "message": "Internal Server Error"
       }

• Ensure the Source email in handler.js is verified in AWS SES.
• Modify the region in serverless.yml if using a different AWS region.
• Check the console for detailed error messages if issues arise.
