Amend: Enterprise DNS Audit & Monitoring SaaS
Enterprise-grade DNS audit and monitoring SaaS platform that manages domains across 30+ providers with real-time monitoring, version control, and security auditing.
DNS Audit & Monitoring SaaS Platform
Overview
Built a comprehensive, enterprise-grade SaaS platform that empowers businesses to take complete control of their DNS infrastructure. The platform serves as a central command center for managing domains, DNS zones, and records across multiple providers while providing real-time monitoring, version control, and security auditing capabilities.
The Challenge
Modern businesses manage dozens or hundreds of domains across multiple DNS providers, making it nearly impossible to track changes, maintain security compliance, or quickly identify issues. Without centralized management and auditing, organizations face critical risks including unauthorized DNS changes, security breaches, service outages, and compliance violations.
The Solution
A scalable, multi-tenant SaaS application that consolidates DNS management across 30+ major DNS providers into a single, intelligent platform. The system automatically imports and syncs DNS data, tracks every change with complete audit trails, monitors service availability, and provides instant alerts when problems arise.
Core Capabilities
Unified DNS Management
Connect and manage domains and DNS zones from over 30 major providers including AWS Route 53, Cloudflare, Google Cloud DNS, Microsoft Azure, GoDaddy, Namecheap, DigitalOcean, and many others. The platform automatically imports existing DNS configurations, keeps everything synchronized, and provides a consistent interface regardless of which provider hosts your domains.
Complete Change Tracking & Versioning
Every modification to DNS zones and records is automatically captured with full audit trails. Users can see exactly what changed, when it changed, and who made the change. The system maintains historical versions, allowing teams to review the evolution of their DNS configuration over time and understand the impact of past modifications.
DNS Zone Snapshots
Create point-in-time snapshots of entire DNS zones for backup and recovery purposes. Users can export snapshots, compare different versions, and restore previous configurations with a single click—critical for disaster recovery and rollback scenarios.
Real-Time Monitoring & Alerting
Monitor the availability and performance of websites, APIs, and services from multiple global locations. The platform continuously checks endpoints, tracks response times, and detects outages instantly. When issues occur, automated alerts are sent through multiple notification channels including Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, webhooks, Discord, Telegram, and JIRA.
Public Status Pages
Create branded, customizable status pages that automatically update to reflect service health. These pages display current incidents, scheduled maintenance windows, and historical uptime data, keeping customers informed without manual intervention.
Domain Security & Compliance
Automatically track domain registration details, expiration dates, and WHOIS information changes. The system monitors domains against blacklists, alerts on approaching expiration dates, and maintains version history of nameserver configurations to detect unauthorized changes.
DMARC Report Analysis
Aggregate and analyze DMARC email authentication reports to improve email deliverability and security. The platform processes RUA and RUF reports, provides visual dashboards showing authentication rates, identifies sources of email, and helps organizations achieve better email reputation.
Multi-Tenant Team Collaboration
Built on a true multi-tenant architecture where each organization (team) operates in complete isolation with their own data, integrations, and settings. Teams can invite multiple members, assign roles, and collaborate on DNS management while maintaining strict data separation and security.
Flexible Notification System
Configure granular notification preferences for different types of events. Choose which changes trigger alerts, set notification delays to reduce noise, and customize message content. Integrate with existing workflows through webhooks or connect to team communication platforms.
Activity Logging & Compliance
Comprehensive activity logs capture every action taken in the system, from DNS modifications to configuration changes. These logs are essential for security audits, compliance requirements, and troubleshooting. Export logs for external analysis or review historical activity directly in the platform.
Tagging & Organization
Organize domains, zones, and records with custom tags for better management and reporting. Filter and search by tags, create custom views, and maintain better organization as infrastructure scales.
Scheduled Maintenance Windows
Plan and announce maintenance periods where monitoring checks are paused and status pages automatically reflect scheduled downtime. This prevents false alerts during planned outages and keeps stakeholders informed.
Bulk Operations & Automation
Perform bulk imports, exports, and operations across multiple zones simultaneously. The platform handles large-scale deployments efficiently, processing thousands of records reliably through background job queues.
Billing & Subscription Management
Integrated subscription billing system supporting multiple plans with usage-based limits. Teams can manage payment methods, view invoices, track usage against plan limits, and scale their subscriptions as their needs grow.
API Integrations
Robust API architecture supports programmatic access and future integrations. The platform can serve as the foundation for custom workflows, automated DNS management scripts, and third-party tool integrations.
Technical Architecture Highlights
Built using modern web technologies with a focus on scalability, reliability, and maintainability. The application leverages event-driven architecture, background job processing, and comprehensive error tracking to ensure consistent performance even as the number of managed domains grows into the thousands.
The platform is designed to handle high-volume operations including:
- Continuous synchronization with 30+ external DNS provider APIs
- Real-time monitoring checks from multiple global locations
- Processing millions of DNS record changes with full audit trails
- Concurrent monitoring of thousands of endpoints
- Background processing of DMARC reports and email data
Business Impact
This platform transforms how organizations manage their DNS infrastructure by providing:
Visibility: Complete transparency into DNS configurations across all providers in one place
Security: Immediate detection of unauthorized changes and potential security threats
Reliability: Proactive monitoring ensures issues are caught before they impact users
Efficiency: Eliminates manual tracking and reduces the time spent managing DNS across multiple providers
Compliance: Comprehensive audit trails meet regulatory requirements for change management
Scalability: Grows with the organization, supporting everything from small businesses to enterprise deployments
Key Differentiators
Unlike basic DNS management tools, this platform provides enterprise-grade features including complete version history, automated change detection, multi-provider support, intelligent monitoring, and comprehensive audit capabilities. It's designed not just to manage DNS, but to transform DNS infrastructure management into a strategic, security-focused operation.
The system demonstrates mastery of complex SaaS architecture including multi-tenancy, event-driven workflows, background job processing, real-time monitoring systems, and integrations with dozens of external APIs—all while maintaining a user-friendly interface that makes powerful capabilities accessible to both technical and non-technical users.
