ResolveDB Documentation

Learn how to use ResolveDB, a DNS-based data storage system that turns the DNS protocol into a lightweight, globally distributed database.

What is ResolveDB?

ResolveDB allows you to store and retrieve data using standard DNS queries. By leveraging the global DNS infrastructure, your data is automatically cached at every layer of the DNS hierarchy, enabling sub-millisecond reads without any additional infrastructure.

$ dig get.newyork.weather.public.v1.resolvedb.net TXT
