Am I the only one who can't think of a time DNS has caused a production outage on a platform I worked on?
Lots of other problems over the years, but never DNS.
I have a coworker who always forgets TTL is a thing, and never plans ahead. On multiple occasions they've moved a database, updated DNS to reflect the change, and are confused why everything is broken for 10-20 minutes.
I really wish the first time they learned, but every once and a while they come to me to troubleshoot the same issue.
Set it to 5 seconds ??? Profit
"yes boss we need another 20 dns servers" "idk why dns traffic is so heavy these days"
