Amazon Route 53

Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service that provides DNS routing, domain name registration, and health checking capabilities. Route 53 connects user requests to internet applications running on AWS or on-premises infrastructure, and can be used to route traffic based on latency, geolocation, geoproximity, and weighted round-robin policies.

Amazon Route 53 publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Health Checks API, Hosted Zones API, and Resource Record Sets API. Tagged areas include DNS, Domain Registration, Health Checks, and Routing.

The Amazon Route 53 catalog on APIs.io includes 2 JSON-LD contexts and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Amazon Route 53’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, support, engineering blog, GitHub presence, signup flow, and 76 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/amazon-route-53: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?
