APIs. This results in slow API response rates and limited support for IAC tools and methods. NS1’s DNS platform has an API first architecture supporting a wide variety of integrations with IAC tools and programmatic options. Challenge #2: DNS Change Propagation With a globally distributed user population, DNS services need to be instantly available to every user, everywhere. This requires a distributed network of DNS servers, otherwise latency and bottlenecks will impact the user experience. Frequent, automation driven DNS updates must be propagated in seconds to all serving nodes to prevent users from receiving stale DNS information that would result in errors and timeouts. Traditional DNS systems use slow transfer
Related Pain Points
DNS record propagation delays cause user-facing outages
7DNS changes don't propagate instantly across all resolvers and caches. High TTL values compound the problem, causing old/incorrect records to persist for hours or days, making updates seem ineffective and breaking user access to services.
DNS APIs lack IaC integration and programmatic support
6Traditional DNS platforms have limited or slow API support for Infrastructure-as-Code tools and automation. This forces manual DNS management and prevents teams from treating DNS configuration as code.
