Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Route 53
Route 53 is used as our primary Domain Name Service (DNS) which exposes our products to our users online. Unlike other DNS providers, Route 53 is specialized to work within Amazon Web Services (AWS) to make exposing endpoints across services as seamless as possible. Route 53 also helps quickly switch routing for our red/green deployments making sure our customers have a great experience when using our services during updates.

When working with AWS, Route 53 is hands down the better solution. If you live in GCP, then Google Cloud DNS is the way to go. GoDaddy is more of a consumer-facing product and is perfectly fine when Services are not being utilized in any Cloud Environment. Eventually, all of our DNS ends up in AWS or GCP...
