🚨 BREAKING: claims to revolutionize the landscape with and records, but spoiler alertβ€”it's just another jargon-filled proposal destined to collect digital dust. πŸŒπŸ“œ Meanwhile, DNS admins everywhere are thrilled to have more acronyms to ignore. πŸ™„βœ¨

Today I discovered the RFC 9460 and therefore the SVCB and HTTPS resource records. Very interesting and useful innovation :)

We now publish DNS HTTPS IP hint records for all #OpenStreetMap web services per #RFC9460 Why? Small incremental improvement to performance and privacy. Our DNS handles over 2,000 requests per second. DNS HTTPS query is our 2nd most common query. #DNScontrol #SVCB πŸš€ πŸ€“

Oh, and lastly, this whole Mastodon thread as a much more convenient blog post 😜:

Hey, so #RFC9460 HTTPS/SVCB records are neat, right?

They...
- speed up your time-to-first-packet (by basically stuffing the Alt-Svc HTTP header / ALPN TLS extension into the #DNS);
- let you do redirection on the zone apex without using CNAMEs;
- allow for simple DNS load distribution and failover;
- obviate HSTS and the cumbersone preloading process;
- enable stronger privacy protections via Encrypted Client Hello aka #ECH

Woohoo! #IETF #RFC9460 has been published: "Service Binding and Parameter Specification via the #DNS (#SVCB and #HTTPS Resource Records)". rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9460.htm

Thank you to everyone has supported and contributed to this over the past almost nine years since the initial seeds were planted during discussions at a TLS 1.3 interim meeting.

SVCB has potential to have substantial impact across a wide range of Internet protocols. I'm thrilled to see how many drafts are already building on it.
