The true story of Trusty

• Most stories can be poured in a cocktail mixer.

  1/3 myth, 1/3 legend, 1/3 reality.

• And a zest of lemon.

• Shake. Shake. Shake.

• And this one is no exception.

• Shake. Shake. Shake.

• Myth, legend, and reality blend into eachother.

  

  OMG! WTF?

• However this is not how it happened.

• 

  Trusty didn't exterminate the dinosaurs.

• 

  Sure, there was an explosion.
  But not like this. It was more of a spark.

• 

  Trusty was born out of two computers that blew a "fuse" when they met each other.

• The father is an old IBM Mainframe from 1981.

• The mother is a first generation Apple Lisa.

• It was love at first e-mail.

• Trusty was born 2 e-mails later.

• Very early, it showed interest in answering all type of questions.

  It was good at remembering long strings of numbers.

• And names. Trusty was the best at it. It could always remember a name.

  

  Heroku

• Good grades got him accepted in the prestigious NSU
  (Name server University)

• But it dropped out in the second semester to follow his dream.

• Trusty started working from its parent's garage...

• ... answering DNS queries.

• He put his heart and sweat to be the fastest one. But his business idea didn't take off.

• People preferred big companies.
  How could they trust this little guy to resolve their business websites?

• Trusty persevered.

  It even competed on National television.

• The show was called "Who's faster anyway?"

  Let's just say it didn't become rich and famous after it was all done.

• Back to the garage. Started back from zero.

• Trusty had a breakthrough.

• What if answering fast to a DNS query wasn't the most important thing for a customer?

  What were the pains of managing a domain?

  Could they be removed?

  Can it all be done differently?

• There are a lot of pains to remove from domain management.

• 

  And Trusty's friends agreed with that vision.

• It started working day and night.

• Word got around and Trusty's little company started to see more traffic.

• But despite growth, Trusty kept it simple.

• Today, with a team of name servers around the world, Trusty answers DNS queries like no one else.

• If you are looking for an easy way to manage your domain, Trusty has one answer for you...

• 

  A pinch of myth, half sliced legend, and 100% reality.
