RoostDNS: Name resolution for flocks of all sizes

Overview

Fast, reliable DNS with a clean interface and a record type called CLUCK that nothing uses, but which we are very proud of.

RoostDNS is part of our Cloud & Infrastructure line, and it plays nicely with NestKube and CloudCluck, so you can adopt it one perch at a time. Store, serve, and scale from a coop that never needs mucking out.

Teams usually start with the free Chick plan, move to Hen when the flock grows past a handful, and graduate to Rooster once the security team wants audit logs. The upgrade is one click, and nobody needs to molt.

Key features

Billing is metered per peck, and you can see every peck in the console.
Multi-coop replication keeps your eggs in more than one basket, as advised by every proverb.
Automatic failover to a healthy hen when a node stops laying.
RoostDNS scales horizontally by hatching new nodes in under nine seconds.
Terraform, Pulumi, and plain old shell scripts all work. Even the scripts that scratch the dirt.

What the flock says

★★★★★ Ignatius I. Intern, Everywhere

Does exactly what it says. Rare enough that we put it in the all-hands deck.

★★★★☆ Foghorn F. Principal Architect, Leghorn Logic

Four stars because I like to leave room for improvement, and for another snack.

★★★★★ Gertrude G. Head of Ops, Free Range Freight

We replaced three tools with RoostDNS and nobody has asked where the old ones went.

Frequently asked questions

How often is RoostDNS updated?

Every two weeks, on a Tuesday, shortly after the rooster crows. Release notes live in the changelog.

Who do I call when something goes wrong?

Our 24/7 clucking support line at (06) 123CLUCK. Please do not call during the 3 p.m. egg break, because we do not pick up.
