We usually publish a weekly update on Friday, but this week, we didn’t want to wait till then to tell you what you can start doing with Mailgun today. We’ve just released our new beta webhook API so that you can programmatically manage webhooks for all your domains!
Mailgun lets you send millions of emails per month, but for a lot of developers building the next world-dominating app, that’s a few too many to start.
Recently, we’ve been working on our newest API to make it easier for customers to automate their email. After working with a select set of alpha customers, today we’re ready to extend the API to a larger group of beta testers. So, say hello the Domains API.
This week, we’ve worked on a few features that customers had been requesting. Specifically, we increased the character limit for link rewriting and added a new account management feature to make it easier to downgrade to a free plan.
This week we’ve rolled out a significant improvement to our reputation algorithm, affectionately known to the Mailgunners as Razor.
After a few weeks rolling out some frequently requested new webhook-related features, we worked on a some less visible things to keep Mailgun new and shiny for you. Specifically, we decreased the number of queries per second on our main MongoDB instance by 50%.
Many of our customers run large-scale digital marketing applications on top of Mailgun for their own customers. For example, Vero and Userfox are email service providers that built their awesome digital marketing automation apps on top of Mailgun
Last week we released a much-requested email tracking feature: domain-level webhooks. Continuing on that theme, this week we’ve released another webhook-related feature: easy testing for Routes webhooks.
This week’s main theme was webhooks and we’ve got an exciting (and much requested) new feature to announce: domain-level webooks. In addition, we’ve been focused on improving our reputation system to catch spammers and scammers before they can do their damage.
Originally posted on April 12, 2013. This week we focused on backend improvements to make Mailgun more performant, reliable and scalable. Lots of boring stuff, but hopefully you’ll feel the difference.
This post was originally published by Jay Baird on the Rackspace DevOps blog. The Rackspace team has been using Mailgun for a variety of projects (like this one), and just open-sourced an SDK for integrating Mailgun in iOS apps.
This week, we’ve rolled out an enhancement, ok, we’ve fixed a bug, in our email parsing API, which is part of our incoming email handling system called Routes.
