> their interface is not nearly as bad as GCP / AWS
Underrated.
Until recently, all the features were grouped in a very clear manner within the dashboard. Now, even Cloudflare is complicating its management interface, but they still have a long way to go before reaching the level of confusion of AWS and GCP.
Definitely.
I managed to get R2 with their cdn in front of it up and working in under an hour. The same experience with s3 fronted by cloudfront was 2 very long days. Due to my misunderstanding, yes, but aws provided (1) incomprehensible docs, (2) an extremely complex UI; (3) stale help all over the internet; and (4) incredibly unclear error messages.
Honestly, I feel like Cloudflares interface is quite complicated for the number of features they have. All their stuff seems to be only slightly integrated.
I appreciate the fact its just connected enough to work. AWS does what feels like everything in their power to entrench you. I avoid AWS as much as possible but one example that comes to mind is the fact you basically need to use SQS for SES
