Laravel adds a new email provider

Taylor Otwell added a Resend as an email provider to Laravel, which seemed pretty noteworthy to me! I walk through setting up Resend as your mail driver, creating and sending emails using Laravel's mailable classes, and discuss Resend's pricing options, making it a great choice for indie developers and enterprises alike. Let's take a look at what Resend does.

2:01 is my favorite part!

Awesome video! 2 more video ideas for you if you need them (sorry for the unsolicited ideas 😅

1) Say you spend time in the laravel ecosystem and want to ship a production application, how much would you expect to pay for all of the laravel goodies each month? like Forge, Herd, Envoyer, etc. How many of those are necessary?

2) As a complete beginner, how long would you anticipate it'd take to learn how to ship a decently complex laravel app. Assuming already decent proficiency with coding/rails/etc. How would you effectively learn the ecosystem?

Man, your videos are a breath of fresh air among the score of youtubers/coders. Awesome video! I will be switching my project to resend today.

Hey, thanks for amazing video, Aaron.
Seems like laravel is in a hype train for last months, a lot of my friends JS developers - they told me PHP and Laravel is not crap anymore. So excited for PHP and Laravel bright future 🎉

Aaron pumping videos like every other day - loving it. I'm not actively working on Laravel - moved to Spring(Java) due to my job, but still a Laravel fanboy and waiting on Aaron to create a full Laravel+Livewire course.

Love Aaron quietly deleting all the method docblocks. 😉
I do the same haha

[RichardTafoya]

Aaron, you are killing it. Really loving the quality of your videos and the content direction.

2:05 People using dark mode do not experience the good feeling you get after 10 hours working using light mode.
That eyes burning feels great 😎. besides it dims your surroundings for better focus.

I do use both modes, dark for VS Code and light mode for VS, I was using VS way before dark mode was a thing so it's out of habit.

Thanks Aaron!

Man, a big Laravel project just drop on my lap and I'd be completely lost without your videos, thank you and keep it up!

[sinaahmadpour]

[stevebauman]

[duckhorse]

Tried out Laravel this weekend. It’s a guilty pleasure now 😭

[zachweix]

It seems that nothing can beat the pricing of SES though... (If only they are willing to actually approve small businesses)

[zulkiflimhd]

I love the way u explain thing.. so friendly buddy.❤❤❤

[surviplays]

This service is looks very useful, with kind price politics, like you can use it on simple project where u have a small amount of mails for free, or like just use it for self notification when server is going to have critial errors, i like it, thx a lot😊

[ericmp]

[lpanebr]
