Easiest way to manage email notifications for my blog?
Hi all! I have a personal blog that I've built using Astro, where I write blog posts in .md files. It's very minimal, but I'd like to set up email alerts to subscribers whenever post a new article. I was hoping for an easy and ideally free way to manage this.
My blog is hosted on Vercel. So far my plan is to use some serverless functions to aggregate all the emails and store them in a DB, then a GitHub action calling another serverless function to parse the list and send emails when it detects a new blog post using something like SendGrid or Resend.
Is this an ideal way? Or is there a much simpler way to handle this? Thanks!

i wouldent bother doing email notifications, i doubt anyone actually listens to those
publishing an rss feed would be more usefull imo
but if you do want to do an email list sendgrid also stores mailing lists iirc
so you can cut out the db
