I’m hoping Cloudflare will eventually offer the SMS stuff that Twilio used to, along with other real time communications.

  How does that fit in with Cloudflare? DNS is different than SMS, email, etc. Industry regulations, integration with providers, spam fighting, etc. Both benefit from network peering. I would think it would be easier to add DNS to Twilio than to add SMS to Cloudflare.

    If you think Cloudflare only does DNS, you don’t know what Cloudflare is They do way more than just DNS

      For any of the following Cloudflare products, are any as complex as SMS or Email? None of these are adversarial and covered by legal constraints to my knowledge (except ddos which is a resource game). I'm unfamiliar with their "china network" - probably some legalities there.

        I don’t think you understand Cloudflare’s capability to build new services. Especially that now Twilio has left this vacuum in the market. If my app needs robust SMS delivery, who can provide it now?

          I'm not saying that. I don't see how it fits their catalogue. These types of solutions are different kinds of beasts.
