## Technology Stack

After poking around for a bit, I landed on the following:

* [SendGrid](https://sendgrid.com/) to handle emails (25K emails free monthly)
* [Azure Storage Table](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/storage/) to save the email address the user enter (this gives me an unlimited number of subscribers). 
* [Timer Trigger with Azure Functions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-bindings-timer) to schedule emails to send at a certain time. (Runs weekly and retrieves my last 7 days worth of blog posts)
* [HTTP Trigger with Azure Functions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-bindings-http-webhook) to collect POST data coming from my website that contains the email address that someone types in. 
* [Visual Studio and the C# Language](https://www.visualstudio.com/)
