Apparently You Can Use Route53 as a Blazingly Fast Database

So, why would you use Amazon Route53 as a database? Performance: Querying a TXT record is blazingly fast. High availability: Unlike any other AWS service, Route53 has guaranteed availability. Apparently You Can Use Route53 as a Blazingly Fast Database.

Exploring the pros and cons, and how it might be possible

Introduction

A few years ago, I stumbled on this wild story from Corey Quinn about how they’ve used  Amazon Route53 as a simple database:

Whether it is true or not, it’s impossible to tell, but Corey has often referred to Route53 as their database of choice.

As it turns out, this might be entirely fictitious, according to their blog article, which actually proposes a fairly decent and somewhat viable use case.

Corey also posted this comment on  Reddit, which might debunk the Route53-as-a-database myth:

“Holy crap my nonsense got traction. Please don’t take it as a good idea; most of my architectures are intentionally awful for amusement purposes.”

With that in mind, let’s dive into how and why you might actually use Route53 as a database.

Could Route53 (or any domain DNS configuration) really be used as a database?

When you think about it, DNS configuration is actually a very rudimentary NoSQL database. You can view and modify it at any time quite easily through your domain provider’s website, and you can view each “record” just like a row in a database table.

Many services use DNS TXT records to verify domain ownership. You would essentially add or modify a TXT record to store a key/value pair, which the service will then query.

Install Angular in easy step by step process. Firstly Install Node.js & npm, then Install Angular CLI, Create workspace and Deploy your App.

What is Angular? What it does? How we implement it in a project? So, here are some basics of angular to let you learn more about angular. Angular is a Typesc

Updating from Angular 10 to Angular 11. In 2020, Angular received three stable update (Version 9, 10, and 11,) each introducing a few significant changes. We’ll focus on the last two, Angular 10 and Angular 11, the rule is currently facing issues, especially for packages like update @angular/core.

Many times developers use JavaScript and ECMAScript synonymously for each other. Though they are very closely linked to each other, it does not mean they are the same thing.here is a complete story on the history of JavaScript and how it came into existence. To cut the long story short, ECMA in ECMAScript refers to Europen Computer Manufacturers Association to which JavaScript 1.1 was submitted for standardization back in the year 1997.

I currently work as an Angular developer, building tools the employees at my company use to get their jobs done and hopefully enjoy doing them. I only started developing in Angular at the beginning of May this year, but I love front-end work and am so pumped to get the chance to learn this new skill professionally.
