DoutekiDNS is an incredibly simple, and cheap Dynamic DNS service API built on AWS Route 53, Heroku, and MongoHQ. Designed to be started with one line, to run within heroku and MongoHQ's free tier, and to cost about 6$ a year only, with amazon's Route53 service. It utilizes a super simple REST interface, and outputs JSON for easy consumption across a bunch of platforms and languages. We are in the beginning still, pull requests are more than welcome! I give a great amount of thanks to my Grandfather, Steve Detro, who encouraged this idea seven years ago- I hope you really enjoy it, and I look forward to seeing what will happen.
Thank you,
Eric Lewis
