It was specifically built for multi DC or multi cloud or hybrid operations that are on separate continents, with geo DNS, heathchecks and faiolver on the DNS level at the same time. When all usa servers in the WRR pool are down, or DC is down, it starts to answers the closest next set of WRR (Canada) automatically.WRR pools are dynamic and auto healing, constantly doing http heathchecks.
It is also dirt cheap, like 100x cheaper as opposed to aquire provider independent IP address space and run and operate AnyCast and having 24/7 NOC teams on this AnyCast, constantly adjusting bgp communities etc. and it is not like anycast and bgp solve anything when one server is down but other works. You can't stop announcing whole prefix if you run 200 machines but only one or two are down.
TTL I'm using is 30 seconds.
I never shared this backed with the world, you can't test it or purchase it. But maybe some day I'll launch a route53 competitor ;)
