Infrastructure Components for Speakforme campaign.
Writing our Infrastructure as Code allows us to make easier changes, rollback if needed, and most importantly - allow everyone to contribute to the infrastructure.

We run entirely off Terraform, AWS (SES+Lambda+DynamoDB).
The website part of it is at speakforme/website.
We mark ourselves in the bcc ([email protected]). This is caught by SES, which triggers
a Lambda job.
The Lambda job:
- Generates a UUID.
- Saves the from email in dynamoDB against the UUID.
- Sends an acknowledgement email with a unsubscription link that has the UUID.
- Bumps counters in another table for every email marked on the email
Here's a graph:
The unsubscription link triggers another Lambda job which:
- Deletes the email entry from the DynamoDB using the UUID.
