"On November 21, 2016, Oracle announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Dyn, the leading cloud-based Internet Performance and DNS provider that monitors, controls, and optimizes Internet applications and cloud services to deliver faster access, reduced page load times, and higher end-user satisfaction. The proposed transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. Until the transaction closes, each company will continue to operate independently."

They try to, with the same proprietary overpriced crap, except now trying to charge you continuously for it.

I remember when Dyn got started .. back when dial-up internet and dynamic addresses were normal .. was a right pain trying to host any kind of service ..

look where we are today .. spin up a VPS in twenty seconds you're good to go

I wonder if Oracle thought they were buying a "patent on DNS".

The Dyn division known as Dyn Research (formerly Renesys) produces some interesting articles, such as their annual "Baker's Dozen" series. I hope Oracle doesn't kill it.

Monkey talk is was an automation tool for testing which we were using extensively. Oracle bought monkey talk and killed that monkey.

Good ol' Larry E buying instead of building. Why build Route53 when you can buy Dyn!
