This document outlines an architecture for building a scalable email processor using Amazon Web Services. It proposes using SES to receive incoming emails, SNS to send notifications, S3 for storage, and an auto-scaling Spray server with RDS and SQS for processing, persistence, and fault tolerance. It notes some implementation gotchas around permissions, access, configuration, and documentation and concludes with contact information for the author.
