Why Cloud Bills Now Tax Outbound Email Delivery
from Cloud Computing with Fexingo: AWS, Azure, GCP, and Modern Infrastructure Conversations Hosted by Fexingo
Lucas and Luna break down a new line item appearing on enterprise cloud bills: per-email surcharges for outbound email delivery via SES, SendGrid, and similar services. They walk through how AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud have started charging between $0.0001 and $0.001 per email sent to external recipients, separate from compute and bandwidth costs. The hosts explain the economics behind the shift — declining SMS revenue, rising abuse prevention costs, and the desire to monetize high-volume transactional email — and share practical strategies for engineering teams to minimize the hit, from batching digests to negotiating custom pricing tiers. A concrete look at how a once-free utility turned into a line item. #CloudComputing #AWS #Azure #GoogleCloud #EmailDelivery #SES #CloudBills #FinOps #Technology #CloudCosts #TransactionalEmail #SendGrid #EmailTax #CloudPricing #Infrastructure #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechTrends Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
