For me:
- SES was a big one. There was no affordable alternative at my (not big, not small) scale.
- I'm still waning myself personally of GMail. That dependency took decades to build and it will take years for all ties to sever.
What is the difficulty in getting away from gmail?
I did it a few years ago and I simply signed up for Fastmail and had gmail forward all email there. It forwards to a specific e-mail address so I can see if there are still people/companies that use the old email address. The painful part was going through all my accounts to update the e-mail, but you can do it in stages if you follow the above.
Maybe this comment downthread helps for the email problem? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47489711
Have you checked out zeptomail by zoho? Not as low cost, but getting close. More basics build in.
Not EU.

They have EU datacenters and an actually staffed legal entity in Germany .
