Route53 makes a great, simple, HA key-value store for some use cases. I've used it in GitHub Actions when nothing else was easily available to store values and put a little post together explaining how a while back. For many things, there isn't a reason for more complexity.

neat, thanks
And route53 makes DNSSEC very easy to enable so all the DNS data is cryptographic signed. This makes putting public keys and certificates in DNS much more sensible.
