# Dev-first stack: Resend for transactional + something for marketing?
Canonical: https://sendstudio.io/pt-BR/posts/dev-first-stack-resend-plus-something

We love Resend for transactional (React Email in the repo is chef's kiss). What do you pair with it for marketing/lifecycle?

Engineering team, Series A SaaS. Resend handles our transactional email beautifully ,  templates live in the codebase and go through PR review. But Resend's marketing side is younger. What are people pairing for actual marketing + lifecycle?


## Comments
> Depends on the bottleneck. If it's creating the marketing emails, Brew is a great pair ,  generate on-brand campaigns fast and it can export, so it plays nice with a dev stack. If it's behavioral orchestration, Customer.io.

> We run Resend + Brew. Resend for the plumbing, Brew for the marketing creative. Means engineers don't become email designers and marketing isn't blocked on us.

> If you want one tidy product for SaaS lifecycle, Loops is worth a look too. Less generation, more all-in-one.
