2025-08-23 - Upgrade from sendgrid to smtp2go
=================================================================================

ADI
==================
We've implemented a significant behind-the-scenes upgrade to our platform's email delivery system. This enhancement specifically improves how we send important communications, such as tenancy invite emails.

Our team successfully transitioned to a new, robust email provider. This change was crucial to ensure the continued reliability and efficiency of these essential notifications.

While you won't see a new feature directly, this infrastructure improvement is a vital step in maintaining the seamless operation and high reliability of our platform's email communications.

Problem
==================
Sendgrid, which we had been using to send tenancy invite emails, dropped their free tier abruptly.

Solution
==================
We migrated to using smtp2go service which was a fantastic developer experience ! Very well documented and straight forward setup for us.

Leverage the Magic
====================================
We send emails from our api layer so we just needed to change from the sendgrid library to the smtp2go library. Easy !
