MailChimp pricing model is unscalable for startups. Does anyone use or recommends a MailChimp alternative that are pricing is friendlier to free community platforms?
Are these transactional emails? or marketing emails?
For marketing newsletters, we generally send 1-2 emails for 10k-15k community members
We use MailGun for transactional emails, we thought about building a service on top of it
Is that per day 10-15k/emails or per month?
Sorry I meant per month:)
Have you already looked at getting your own server and warming up the IP yourself?
I think the warmup takes 3-4 weeks.
I was looking at doing some cold email campaigns recently and had looked at a number of options. Also have you already looked at AWS SES?
Running my own server is a lot of work; we do this for active marketing campaigns, but our main work is not cold-emailing / newsletters oriented, so maintenance here will be an overhead
I was thinking about Mailgun / AWS SES
But if a platform is providing reasonable pricing, that should be better
We are using Sendgrid for application emails, they also have marketing emails. For newsletters we actually use Hubspot.
I will check out Hubspot and Sendgrid!

Hey, I hope this is okay to post here, if not you are welcome to delete. Please could you check out some Developer work I have been doing for a startup called GreenCloud. I made an Authentication API with Wrappers using the net/http package in GoLang: https://theclouddude.co.uk/how-i-built-an-authentication-api-in-go this will later be the backbone for a #terraform and Pulimi provider that I will be making for them.

I want to know how many servers will be running in a company where software development is the actual process. How many servers will be in respect to development, testing and production environment
I usually try and run identical infra across all environments but keep the the non-prod/pre-prod environments scaled down. Regardless of environment, I almost always run 2 or more of each microservice. This way if there is a stateful issue it ideally gets caught in nonprod/testing.
As for the # of servers. If you are using kubernetes something like what I described could just be two pods on a single ec2 instance. If you are using something like beanstalk then it would likely be two ec2 instances.
