That seems very similar to Resend, which has been a joy to use for my part.

This is great. I’ve had many side projects with Cloudflare where I’ve wanted a way to send emails as a part of it, and it’s slightly annoying having to go find another service to use to get that done. Having this baked-in will he sweet!

Eventually all Internet protocols will be MITMed by cloudflare. Your single point of interception!

Great move. Will probably switch to it immediately from Sendgrid as soon as it goes GA.

Sendgrid recently killed their free tier (100 emails per day) and their lowest plan is now $20/month for 50,000 emails. It's totally overkill for low traffic projects.

Been waiting for this for a long time! CloudFlare developer platform is underrated. The ability to use queues, cache (KV), Hyperdrive, and R2 (an S3 equivalent) with one line of code is just brilliant.

Yeah it's already a known point of failure. The annual chaos is always when they have some downtime. They do offer an incredible service though. Would like to see some competition but it's not easy.

That's great - and maybe I'm cynical - but that's right where my mind went when I read that. Trading income for control isn't a bad game..

Was about to comment on this but you got right to the point. All of this is because people are lazy to build, let alone maintain, their own damn programs and servers.

With a pricing structure like that it appears they became too tired of verifying/validating users to not send spam. Unfortunately I don't blame them.
