Minimal landing page and mailing list setup?

I have my prototype and now I am working on my landing page and a mailing list. I think I'll be launching beta in 3~4 months.

I can serve the landing page as a client-only static site, but not sure how to make the mailing list work.

What's the minimal setup for the mailing list? Should I use an email service like Mailgun or AWS SES from the start, or can I just create a database server and update the database with email every time someone signs up?

I guess these need to be done from the server. Does this mean I can't serve the landing page as a static site using CDN? Should I use serverless function like AWS lambda to register the email in the database?

What's the simplest, most minimal setup for a landing page with a mailing list?

    I am in the same stage as well... I found a website called buttondown - I think it's an indie product. It looks super minimalistic and easy to use so I might go with that.

    Hello Eric, did you find a solution? I can help you out, but it's better if we can have a small chat.

    If you plan on getting less than 100 signups a month you can use netlify forms.
