Troubleshooting

Reference

Having issues?

Common issues and how to fix them. Credential errors, region problems, and more.

Wraps deploys email infrastructure to your AWS account. This means:

You own your infrastructure
Everything runs in your account. No vendor lock-in.
Pay AWS directly
Transparent pricing at $0.10 per 1,000 emails.
We never store your credentials
Your AWS credentials are only used locally to set up infrastructure.

If you're new to AWS, here are the only concepts you need to understand:

AWS Account

Your billing account with Amazon. Free tier includes 3,000 emails/month for 12 months.

IAM User

A "sub-account" for programmatic access. You create one with access keys for the CLI.

Access Keys

Like a username/password for the CLI. Consists of an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.

Region

Where your infrastructure lives (e.g., us-east-1). Choose one close to your users.

Run our diagnostics command to check if everything is configured correctly:

terminal.sh

npx @wraps.dev/cli aws doctor
