Thoughts on this ridiculous series

The good:

• Nice to see how these typical black box cloud services work under the hood.
• Definitely improved my Rust skills.
• Learnt a whole lot about the wonderful world of DNS.
• Hot take, once you know your TCP, sockets, and HTTP, building these services is not that hard.

The bad:

• I am not sure I am fully bought in to Rust yet. It's hard.
• Observability is key.

The ugly:

• I guess the whole thing is a bit ugly.

Overall

Worth the time? Yes. Would I do it again? No. Would I recommend it? Yes, but only if you are a masochist.

Thanks, Conor
