Doty R53 is a foundational system-level app that provides essential DNS management capabilities for every MakeIt workspace. Named as a playful combination of “dot something” (referencing domain names) and R53 (Route53), this app operates invisibly in the background to enable the domain infrastructure that powers your workspace and sites.
Every MakeIt workspace requires DNS management functionality to support both default workspace domains and custom domain configurations. Doty R53 fulfills this requirement by automatically managing Route53 DNS records, ensuring that your workspace, individual sites, and custom domains all resolve correctly without manual DNS configuration.
The app operates at the infrastructure level, meaning that beyond initial workspace configuration, end users never directly interact with it. This transparent operation ensures that domain management “just works” while providing the flexibility needed for professional deployments with custom branding and domain requirements.
Whether you’re using the default MakeIt-provided domains or configuring custom domains for professional deployment, Doty R53 handles the complex DNS orchestration required to make your applications accessible on the internet. This foundational capability enables other apps and features to focus on their core functionality while relying on reliable domain infrastructure.

App Pricing Models
MakeIt apps use flexible pricing based on how you use them.Apps with free base tiers can be added and used at no cost in their default configuration. You only pay when you enable premium features or exceed usage limits. Many apps stay free forever if you remain within the base setup.
These apps are free to install but charge based on actual usage—such as API calls, AI queries, file storage, or compute resources. Perfect for variable workloads where you want to pay only for what you use.
Pricing scales with the number of active users each month. Ideal for team-based apps and collaborative tools. Some apps include a limited number of free users before billing starts.
Pay a fixed monthly or annual fee for full access to the app, regardless of usage or team size. Great for predictable budgeting and scenarios where you need unlimited access.
Some apps require custom pricing plans for complex integrations, bundled solutions, or specialized configurations. Our team will work with you to create a tailored quote.
Pricing shown is indicative only. Actual fees depend on your configuration, usage and other factors, and will be confirmed in a formal offer. Detailed spend controls and real-time cost tracking are available in your Workspace Admin once you’re onboarded.
