How to implement or configure a sending rate limit?

[travelmassive]

Hi folks - is there an easy way to implement a sending rate limit / rate throttle?

I am sending async with the AWS SES Adapter and I'm hitting SES' rate limit when sending out ~1000 notifications. Only 100 or so notifications are delivered. The rest are dropped.

I'm not sure what part of the pipeline I should expect to be responsible for this? eg. Bamboo? ex_aws? ex_aws_ses? Or my own code?

It looks like ex_aws provides a way to retry failed API calls, but this seems to be a general approach for all AWS API methods and not email specific (ie: it's not a robust strategy to throw all your email at AWS and re-attempt any errors).

Thanks for any tips / pointers.
