I feel like I'm missing something based on some of the comments here. How is this different than from SES? (Why is this controversial?)




A lot of folks find SES or even just the broader AWS experience unpleasant.

Oh sure, a nice emailing experience (compared with SES) seems positive. But there are negative comments like Cloudflare shipping this is net negative, so just trying to understand the context.

The negatives are probably around the fact that Cloudflare is soon to be the master of the web (80/443)

If they launch an email service and are as successful, they could become the master of the email (25/465)

So soon, they'll be the master of the entire Internet

To be clear: I don't share this view, in part because Google and Microsoft already are the masters of the email


Thank you for the context
