Created in the early eighties, DNS involves four types of servers: the DNS Recursor, Root Nameserver, Top Level Domain, and authoritative Nameserver, working together to translate web addresses to IP addresses. Recently, there's been a spike in DNS Flood Attacks, particularly in 2023, making DNS attacks a preferred method for DDoS assaults. This vulnerability is exacerbated by inadequate security and confusion about management responsibilities. When a DNS server is targeted, it can lead to the loss of access to multiple websites and services, severely impacting businesses like ecommerce. Attacks on a single DNS server can lead to millions in lost revenue, damage to company reputation, and potential legal consequences.

Platform engineering, the new kid on the block, takes an average of 3 years to implement and show tangible results, and, if you decide to do it yourself, an extra 20 people are dedicated to the project. And finally, we cannot ignore the devastating effect cloud usage has on the environment, resulting in larger-than-aviation carbon footprint numbers and billions of dollars in waste. In this interview, Cycloid founder, Benjamin Brial, explains why companies should stop leaving sustainability as an afterthought and start tackling it from the get-go (with platform engineering support).
