DNS management in a monorepo

Buying a domain is one of the best purchases you can make because they are very cheap and owning one offers you more independence - you can have your email not tied to a specific provider, you can have a site, etc.

After I bought a domain, I needed a way to manage DNS of that domain. Since using the registrar’s UI to do that is not the best idea, I searched for an IaC tool that can do that for me - I settled on DNSControl.

rules_dnscontrol packages a DNSControl JavaScript entrypoint together with its record configuration files and emits a generated requires.json manifest of relative paths matching the Bazel runfiles tree. Record symlinks retain a .json suffix so DNSControl parses them as JSON. Load the manifest with require() and load each listed path with another require() call; DNSControl’s JavaScript loader does not implement CommonJS module.exports.
