What stood out is how DNS decisions directly impact:
- Load balancing
- Service discovery
- Reliability
- Security boundaries
- Even cryptographic trust models (DNSSEC)
In distributed systems and especially crypto, blockchain, and cloud-native architectures, DNS failures are not “small issues”; they cascade.
This reinforced a key lesson:
You cannot design scalable systems without understanding the network layer.
Next up: deeper Load Balancing
Back to fundamentals.
Back to system thinking.
