Name, description, vendor website, logo, technology type and tags.

Overview & Role

Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable cloud Domain Name System (DNS) web service. It is designed to give developers and businesses an extremely reliable and cost-effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating human-readable domain names like www.example.com into the numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other.

Performance Profile

#performance_profile

Typical read and write throughput, payload size and processing latency.

Read Performance Profile

Throughput: Millions of queries per second (QPS) per hosted zone, scales globally

Payload Size: Typically 50-512 bytes (DNS response size)

Processing Latency: Typically 10-100 ms (global average, can be <30ms for local resolvers)

Write Performance Profile

Throughput: Hundreds to thousands of changes per second (API calls)

Payload Size: Typically 100-1000 bytes (DNS record change request)

Processing Latency: Typically 1-10 seconds (for propagation across all DNS servers, API call itself is <100ms)
