DNS Benchmark Tool – Compare and monitor resolvers

In plain words

DNS Benchmark Tool is a command-line utility that tests and compares DNS resolver performance. Built for developers debugging slow API requests, it allows users to benchmark a single domain across multiple resolvers, rank resolvers by latency or reliability, and continuously monitor performance with threshold alerts. The CLI tool is free and installable via pip, with a hosted version offering multi-region testing and historical tracking planned for early 2026.

  Benchi – A benchmarking tool written in Go2025 · github.com · ▲58

  Benchi is a CLI tool for running benchmarks and collecting metrics. It's using Docker Compose to orchestrate the infrastructure and tools being benchmarked, making it repeatable and runnable on different machines. It allows you to run the same benchmark for different tools and compare the collected results. The repository contains a simple example. For a more elaborate example see how we use Benchi to compare data pipelines running on Conduit and Kafka Connect, two data streaming tools (still work in progress): https://github.com/ConduitIO/streaming-benchmarks

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
