What changed in the lean web stack

A monthly digest: releases and changes from Webstudio, Baserow, Supabase, Directus and the email tools, plus the bigger industry stories that affect small teams, such as PHP security releases and the WordPress disputes.

Amazon SES supports tenant-level suppression lists

Each SES tenant can now have its own suppression list, so bounces and complaints from one tenant no longer block delivery for others in the same account. Scope (tenant or account) and the suppression reasons are configurable, and the suppression APIs accept a tenant name.

Why it matters: Agencies sending for several clients from one AWS account can keep one client's bad list from hurting the others.

Amazon SES adds inbox placement metrics and blocklist monitoring

Amazon SES now estimates the share of mail landing in spam folders using sampled industry data, broken down by sending domain and campaign. It also offers pre-send placement tests for draft content and passive monitoring of public blocklists for sending domains and IPs. The features build on Virtual Deliverability Manager.

Why it matters: Low-cost SES senders, including Sendy and listmonk users, get deliverability insight that used to need separate paid tools.

Sendy 7 released with a redesigned UI, drag-and-drop editor and an SES health indicator

Sendy 7 brings a redesigned interface, a drag-and-drop email editor with templates, a file manager, an Amazon SES status indicator in the sidebar, and sending that Sendy says is about twice as fast. It also adds optional AI review tools. A new licence costs $69 and an upgrade costs $34; licences bought before 8 November 2025 need the upgrade. The official notes at sendy.co/get-updated show no release date, so the date here comes from this blog post.

Why it matters: Sendy plus SES is still one of the cheapest newsletter setups, and v7 removes the main reason to avoid it, the dated editor.
