Amazon Simple Email Service

Local emulators. Real API contracts. Part of Mockingbird.

Stateful local emulator of Amazon Simple Email Service. ESM; Node 22+ or Bun 1.2+.

#Usage

import { SendEmailCommand, SESClient, VerifyEmailIdentityCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-ses"
import { createServer } from "@crvouga/mockingbird-service-ses/server"

// Test setup: start the emulator and point the SDK's endpoint at it.
const server = await createServer()
const ses = new SESClient({
  endpoint: server.url,
  region: "us-east-1",
  credentials: { accessKeyId: "fixture", secretAccessKey: "fixture" },
})

// Application code: the SES SDK calls it already makes.
await ses.send(new VerifyEmailIdentityCommand({ EmailAddress: "billing@example.com" }))
const sent = await ses.send(
  new SendEmailCommand({
    Source: "billing@example.com",
    Destination: { ToAddresses: ["ada@example.com"] },
    Message: { Subject: { Data: "Receipt" }, Body: { Text: { Data: "Thanks for your order." } } },
  }),
)
console.log(sent.MessageId) // an emulator-issued message id

await server.close()

State lives in SQLite collections and participates in the shared runtime's namespace isolation, reset, timeline, clock, journal, metrics and fault controls. No AWS account is needed.

Implemented AWS operations: VerifyEmailIdentity, VerifyEmailAddress, VerifyDomainIdentity, DeleteIdentity, ListIdentities, GetIdentityVerificationAttributes, GetSendQuota, GetSendStatistics, SendEmail, SendRawEmail, CreateTemplate, GetTemplate, UpdateTemplate, DeleteTemplate, ListTemplates, CreateConfigurationSet, DeleteConfigurationSet, ListConfigurationSets.

Operations outside this list fail explicitly. This package emulates API state, not AWS infrastructure, production quotas, billing, IAM enforcement, or provider consoles. Service-specific omissions and oracle evidence are recorded in the AWS coverage ledger.

Run bun run parity with LocalStack on http://127.0.0.1:4566; an unavailable oracle fails the run. No LocalStack run is recorded for this integration. The parity command is a bounded read-only SDK envelope probe, not proof of full vendor equivalence.

#Install

bun add @crvouga/mockingbird-service-ses

#API

• SesAPI(options?): low-level AWS transport instance with fetch and reset.

• createRuntime(options?): in-process Fetch API and shared state controls.

• createServer(options?) from the /server entry: HTTP listener with url, runtime, and close().

• document, operationIds, and supportedOperationIds: generated transport contract metadata.
