Replit has detailed its new DNS infrastructure designed to manage its multi-cluster hosting environment. Previously, a single load balancer handled all traffic for *.repl.co domains. With the introduction of clusters, each with its own database and proxy instances, Replit needed a way to route requests to the correct cluster. They developed a custom authoritative DNS name server in Go that resolves *.repl.co domains by looking up the repl's cluster and returning the IP address of the appropriate cluster's proxy load balancer.
