Is it possible to use AWS SES with application on HEROKU?

Question

I'd like to use Amazon SES to send mail from my application deployed on Heroku

Currently I am able to send mail from localhost, but not able to send mails from my application deployed on HEROKU

There's no reason why it cannot work. Basically the steps are as follow

update your credentials to Heroku

heroku config:set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=yyy AWS_REGION=region

update your Gemfile

gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 2'
gem 'aws-sdk-rails'

Then bundle install to take into effect

configure Amazon SES to be your mail application, update config/environments/production.rb

aws_credentials = Aws::Credentials.new(ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'], ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'])
Aws::Rails.add_action_mailer_delivery_method(:aws_ses, credentials: aws_credentials, region: ENV['AWS_REGION'])

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :aws_ses

Then it should work

Thanks Frédéric.. it is working. I think the problem was with the Gemfile. – ruchir May 31 '16 at 03:47
