Sorry maybe this is completely obvious, but why is it called "d53"?

I wanted a short name that was easy to remember and quick to type. The "d" was actually for "dig", but I figured people might think it was for "dns" which works too. And 53 is because DNS runs on 53.

Also curious on this. Perhaps a mix of DNS and Route53?

Well, that makes totally sense, I don't know why I didn't think of this, thanks!
