SES is a new service AWS provide. need separate the email process and it FOC at certain threshold.

B is better than C as it is order confirmation email to clients

SNS > SES.. The question have a key word consumer. For SNS, subscriber publish message to consumer. Your SNS no need to know who should receive the email. But SES, It is not subscription-based, you only need to know the e-mail address for each receiver. it is not the best solution.

Amazon SES is for applications that need to send communications via email. Amazon SES supports custom email header fields, and many MIME types. By contrast, Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) is for messaging-oriented applications, with multiple subscribers requesting and receiving "push" notifications of time-critical messages via a choice of transport protocols, including HTTP, Amazon SQS, and email. The body of an Amazon SNS notification is limited to 8192 characters of UTF-8 strings, and isn't intended to support multimedia content. https://aws.amazon.com/ses/faqs/

SES is meant for sending high volume e-mail efficiently and securely. SNS is meant as a channel publisher/subscriber service.

Answer is B. https://aws.amazon.com/ses/ Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a cost-effective, flexible, and scalable email service that enables developers to send mail from within any application. You can configure Amazon SES quickly to support several email use cases, including transactional, marketing, or mass email communications. Amazon SES's flexible IP deployment and email authentication options help drive higher deliverability and protect sender reputation, while sending analytics measure the impact of each email. With Amazon SES, you can send email securely, globally, and at scale.

Wouldn’t it be D? Emails are getting delayed, but are being delivered... I understand the case as a lack of performance. If I put SES in the middle, wont those be delayed as well if the web tier is not performing well?

B seems correct. Problem stated 'sending email to users'(many). typical use of SES
