A few questions about EC2 SES and Sendy

• I have a node.js server running on EC2
• I use SES to send emails using nodemailer package in node.js
• I came across this thing called Sendy which claims to add people to list, remove people from list and create campaigns
• On further research it says you ll need to SELF HOST it
• Is SES a server? or does it use EC2 to send emails?
• If SES is a server, why doesnt Sendy use SES to send emails, why does it need to be hosted
• Sendy seems to be PHP code, setting it up on EC2 would be a real pain as I am not familiar with PHP setup
• Are there alternatives to Sendy that can work directly with EC2 and Node.js
• I have worked with providers like mailchimp aweber sendgrid and have no interest in them,something that uses SES but can manage user lists would be perfect
• Thank you for the suggestions in advance
