Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Dyn Managed DNS
We are a SaaS company which allows each account to have its own subdomain or a vanity domain. We divide these customers across different app/database clusters for fault isolation and resiliency. We use Oracle Dyn Managed DNS to manage which cluster each subdomain points to. This is largely driven by automatic API integrations, although occasionally manual intervention is necessary.
- Handles our large zone file.
- Provides an API to integrate with.
- Has been a reliable and professional partner.
- Our zone file is so large that it is very hard to navigate by hand. Sometimes you have to just guess a URL to get where you need to go.
- We have run into occasional issues with API rate limiting, even when sending low request volume.
- I don't know how to quantify the ROI, it's been solid, but it's one small piece of the puzzle.
We use both Oracle Dyn Managed DNS and Amazon Route 53. We like having our main DNS provider outside our cloud provider in case there's an issue with Amazon and we need to point things somewhere else temporarily. But for all the smaller stuff and internal stuff, we use Route 53 successfully.
