SREcon25 Americas digest Program Adjacent pick 25–27 March 2025
Franklin Angulo and Divya Kamat, Squarespace — Adjacent
- Why: A concrete account of migrating 10M+ domains (the assets behind Google Domains, acquired by Squarespace in 2023) at a scale not previously seen in the domain-registrar industry — a rare data point on DNS/registrar infrastructure operations at extreme scale.
- What: The challenges of executing a domain-registrar migration involving more than 10 million domains following Squarespace's acquisition of the Google Domains business. (from abstract only)
- How: Not detailed mechanically in the abstract. (from abstract only — thin on mechanism)
- Where applicable: Domain registrar/registry operations specifically; general lessons on very-large-scale record migration likely apply more broadly.
