TypeScript and Node.js email SDKs

Most providers ship a first-class Node.js SDK. The decision usually comes down to type quality, edge-runtime compatibility, and idempotency exposure.

TypeScript SDKs are the densest and best maintained in the email category. Edge-runtime support varies. Bundle size matters more on Cloudflare Workers and Vercel Edge than on a long-running Node server.
