SendGrid Labs
Working On Things To Make Your Life More Awesome
About
SendGrid Labs is a new and growing internal effort at SendGrid. Born in late 2012, SendGrid Labs builds tools and services to help developers focus on their core business. It aims to provide creative and innovative solutions to common developers' pain points to make their lives easier, and to help them scale.
SendGrid is the ideal platform for an initiative like Labs, because it already solves one of the issues most engineers face — email deliverability, infrastructure, and scalability. Like every other tech company, SendGrid has experienced growing pains, and has had to utilize tools like those being generated at SendGrid Labs to help us scale. The company now wants to give back to the fellow developers who have made SendGrid what it is, by spinning out the tools they’ve developed for others to use.
