Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Route 53
We use Amazon Route 53 as our primary DNS and traffic management service to ensure high availability, scalability, and low latency access to our web and cloud-based applications.
Pros
- High availability and maximum uptime & fault tolerance
- Global performance optimization using latency based routing
- scalability as Amazon Route 53 can auto scale to handle increased DNS queries
Cons
- Limited real time statistics and monioring
- Complex configuration for advanced routing polices
- Limited integration with On-premises infra
- Services/Application response time improved by 28-30%
- Automated fallback to DR helped in maximizing uptime.
- Unable to integrated advanced features with on-prem infra
We chose Amazon Route 53 over Azure DNS for its advanced routing, built-in health checks, and seamless integration with AWS services like EC2, ALB, and CloudFront. Amazon Route 53 also supports domain registration and automated failover, which Azure DNS lacks natively. Its global reliability and automation capabilities made it ideal for our multi-region AWS setup, while Azure DNS is better suited for simple, Azure-only environments without complex routing needs.
