alt Hacker NewsAre there that many people managing their dns by hand that they need this? Outside of various txt records, most of my domains are mapped to specific resources via automation.

I don't think this is there to satisfy "need".
But "automation" with this could legitimately (well, mostly) be based on a git repo with an s3files mount inside it. And a cron job, if you really want to get fancy.
Last job, we did for various control/audit reasons BUT it was all IaC and tickets.
This is... well it's mostly a joke. It's funny but you can indeed use and interact with DNS as a file store or have a file system based control over records.
Both DNS and S3 or any filesystem really... they're just key/value stores.
DNS also has considerably higher reliability and compatibility than almost anything else

How many thousands or millions of employees does your org have? And how many projects deployed over the decades?
There are apparently many people managing their S3 Objects by hand but long to have them in a file system, yes.
