Introducing a leaner and more flexible config (and support for custom hosts!)

To make the developer experience as smooth as possible, we are simplifying the onboarding process. Howso? By making the Platform.sh configuration files optional (zero configuration!).

How does a DNS work?

DNS resolution is the first step taken to form an internet connection. This includes when any device is being used to access a website or any type of internet-enabled application, such as e-commerce, CRM, or food delivery.

Each application has a unique numbering schema on the internet, referred to as IP address.

While this has enabled organizations to quickly adapt to the demands of modern app users, the rapid nature of this migration has also made cloud resources a primary target for security threats.
