DNS as Code: Managing Cloudflare Records with DNSControl
DNSControl is how you get there. It is an open-source tool from Stack Exchange that treats your DNS zone as code. You define records in a config file, run a preview to see what would change, and push to apply. It supports Cloudflare, Route53, and about 30 other providers.

Dropping Cloudflare for Bunny.net
I've tested just about every DNS provider I could find. Self-hosting aside, I always come back to CloudDNS and LuaDNS. I'm currently using LuaDNS as a "dumb" DNS host (i.e., not using their Lua configuration-as-code system), managed using DNSControl.

https://www.luadns.com/pricing.html
https://dnscontrol.org
I've found every other offering to be lacking. Some examples: Cloudflare is alright but has settings footguns if you're not used to Their Way of Doing It™. deSEC is free but sometimes quite slow to propagate, and its UI and API are unwieldy. DNS Made Easy is often advocated for on social media, but it seems ridiculously expensive so I've never even trialed it.

Show HN: OctoDNS, Tools for managing DNS across multiple providers
I compared OctoDNS with DNSControl (https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol) a few years ago and settled with DNSControl because it had more providers out of the box.
But using either of these tools to have your DNS redeploy-able to a new provider is a great idea for resiliency.

How to mitigate the Hetzner/Linode XMPP.ru MitM interception incident
See RFC5507: "Why Adding a New Resource Record Type Is the Preferred Solution"
DNS providers should support a wide range of RR types, and domain owners should vote with their NS records.
See https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol/blob/master/docu... for a list of DNS providers that support CAA.
