Now let's pray they have other notifications than via email
The emails sent by their status page are sent by status.io and are not impacted.
Any recommendations for an alternative mail service to use temporarily while Mailgun is down? Maybe it's good to always have two mail services available in the case that one of the two is down. It would be great to hear a best practice from someone experienced.
In our company, we thought about this when Mailgun was unavailable. We wanted to create a microservice that forwards emails to Mailgun. And if Mailgun is unavailable, the service saves them for later sending. Has anyone tried to implement such a thing?
Where I'm at, we basically use queues for any external dependencies. If they're down, things just queue up.
Out of curiosity - which queueing service(s) do you use?
Just RabbitMQ
I never had any issue with Mailgun before. I'm now using Postmark as a backup service and it works very well.
It's very easy to set up with Laravel (PHP): MAIL_MAILER=failover
SendGrid is up and running, like always :)
Giving me a good initiative to switch fully over to Postmark :)
