This is a quick guide: On How To Deploy(Create) Node.js Server With AWS SES on Vercel(Heroku, Netlify, e.t.c)
Our Code will Send A Confirmation Email On Form Submission.
- Create A Server
const express = require("express");
const path = require("path");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT || 8080;
app.get("/home", function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, "/index.html"));
});
app.listen(port);
console.log("Server started at http://localhost:" + port);
We don't need Post Routes anymore.

- Setup AWS Simple Email Notification Service. https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ses/home?region=us-east-1#/homepage
You will need to confirm your email.
Done.
- In HTML we need to add
<form action="/api/hello" method="POST" style=" padding: 1%;margin-left:25%;width: 50%;">
/api/hello is the endpoint for Serverless in Vercel.
- Create Your Logic Inside hello.js file in api folder.
var aws = require("aws-sdk");
export default function hello(req, res) {
const formData = req.body;
console.log(req.body.name);
aws.config.update({
credentials: {
accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID_MYAPP,
secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_MYAPP,
},
region: process.env.AWS_REGION_MYAPP,
});
// AWS.config.update({region: });
var params = {
Destination: {
/* required */
CcAddresses: [
"ser****@gmail.com",
/* more items */
],
ToAddresses: [
"serp****@gmail.com",
"additionalemail@gmail.com",
/* more items */
],
},
Message: {
/* required */
Body: {
/* required */
Text: {
Charset: "UTF-8",
Data: `${JSON.stringify(formData)}`,
},
},
Subject: {
Charset: "UTF-8",
Data: "Test email",
},
},
Source: "serp****@gmail.com" /* required */,
ReplyToAddresses: [
"serpu****@gmail.com",
/* more items */
],
};
// Create the promise and SES service object
var sendPromise = new aws.SES({ apiVersion: "2010-12-01" })
.sendEmail(params)
.promise();
// Handle promise's fulfilled/rejected states
sendPromise
.then(function (data) {
console.log(data.MessageId);
res.status(200).send(`Hello Thank you!!`);
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.error(err, err.stack);
});
// res.redirect("/home");
//
}
Don't FORGET to add env variables inside your Vercel Website.
