I had one customer on DO DNS and it was a "good enough" solution. Unfortunately, this came right in the middle of a marketing push for last-minute registrations. An annoyance, but not a major financial impact. (Maybe it will give the impression of excess demand. :)

I understand that things break and I should be ready for it. What I found unacceptable were the status updates. Basically, "we're working on it". No clue as to what was going on. A DDoS? Not a DDoS? Routing issues? Corrupt zone files? No clue? Any of those would be helpful as I needed to figure out if I should wait it out, or switch to Route 53.

In the information vacuum, I switched to Route 53. It works.

Route53 is a wonderful service, which has never had a global outage (so far).

I've wrapped it in git, to allow very quick updates to be made in a simple fashion:
