Directus points at a SQL database you already have and generates an admin interface and an API over it, without imposing its own schema. Existing tables keep their names, types, and constraints.

Algolia is search as a managed service, tuned so hard for latency that typing into a search box feels like filtering a local list. Typo tolerance, synonyms, and merchandising rules are all configurable without touching the index code.
Contentful separated content from presentation properly and early. Editors work with structured content models, and any number of front ends consume the same entries through an API.
SendGrid handles the part of email nobody wants to own: reputation, authentication, bounce processing, and the endless negotiation with inbox providers about whether your mail is wanted.
Twilio turned telecommunications into an HTTP request, and the abstraction held. Sending a message to a phone anywhere in the world became a few lines of code rather than a carrier negotiation.
