Launching Route 53 Files

Speaking as a former Blog Bar Raiser, cperciva has internalized the AWS blog style guide better than most Amazonians. This is spot-on.

At first I thought this was a general purpose file system over R53, ala Corey Quinn. But my, what a gorgeously terrible idea. Well done.

A “schema that reads like XML that learned JSON in prison” IM DEAD Stealing this. Gold lies at the intersection of cperciva and quinnypig.

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. https://doug.sh/posts/route53-as-a-key-value-store-2026-edit...
