We Built Our Own DNS Infrastructure

I did exactly this 15 years ago. I was a C++ developer and there was no golang around yet. And Bind had fresh security bugs every month. So the easiest and safest thing I could do was use djbdns (tinydns) with its cdb files being recompiled whenever records had to be added or updated.

Curious to know if anyone's hosting real-world production web apps or APIs on replit, or is it mainly an educational platform?

I wonder about the trade-offs in writing a completely new server compared to a backend for BIND or PowerDNS.

A good case of situational pragmatic wisdom > common wisdom.

Interesting! How do you handle apex custom domains with registrars that require an A record?

&gt; We automatically detect the web server and open a webview in the workspace<p>And you have to use one of their package buttons to make that happen. Super frustrating that they don’t just have an button to open a web view on a port.

I have been working on this for a bit as well but did not figure it out completely yet (mostly due to lack of time): I want to create enough to have loadbalancing&#x2F;failover on dns level (like cloudflare&#x2F;route53). Any tips? Open source and on premise hosted.
