S10 E23: From the Netscape Era to the Multicloud Era: Building a 15-Year Infrastructure Moat and Designing Remote-First Culture with Anthony Eden, Founder & CEO of DNSimple
Mar 11, 2025 · Season 10 · Episode 23 · 24 min
A better DNS than... you know who.
Anthony Eden is a gray beard in terms of internet time, being around when Netscape was released. He was studying music at the University of Miami, and decided to build a website to show off his music and other peoples work - and was hooked. Outside of tech, he grew up surfing, living in Hawaii, France and now Florida. He enjoys writing software for fun - when he has time - and playing board games with this kids - when they are around.
In the past, Anthony was coming off of a failed startup. At the time, he was using a different vendor to manage domains and DNS - which he did not like at all. He decided to go forward and build a better solution, and one that is - you guessed it - simple.
This is the creation story of DNSimple.
