> Why not just use Let's Encrypt?
ZeroSSL comes with significant advantages compared to Let's Encrypt, including access to a fully-featured SSL management console, an REST API for SSL management, SSL monitoring, and more.
I love LE, like really really love it. I was surprised to hear that certs were going from 2 to 1 year expiration and that made me really pause for a second to think about the lack of proper infrastructure around certificates, especially LE certs. I envision these short lived certs from LE/ZeroSSL needing some of the components that ZeroSSL mentioned above and much, much more. Eventually, if/when we have 1 week/1 day cert expirations, we'll need a certificate exchange system to better handle complex scenarios where other parties are involved (i.e. when doing client certs, SAML certs, etc.).
This is where I shamelessly plug my project, Certera: https://docs.certera.io
