Why switch to Posthawk

Self-hosting option

Resend is cloud-only. With Posthawk, deploy on your own servers for complete control over data, uptime, and security.

Full data ownership

Resend stores all data in the US regardless of sending region. Self-hosted Posthawk keeps everything on your infrastructure, in your chosen region.

Full transparency

Resend is closed-source — you can't audit what happens to your emails. With self-hosted Posthawk, you have full control over the code running on your infrastructure.

No usage ceiling

Self-hosted Posthawk has no email limits, no rate caps, and no feature gates. Scale as far as your infrastructure allows.
