It's a bit of a wobbly tower of reasoning to causally go from "you used node.js" to "you overwhelmed your cloud providers DNS service and not even dnsmasq can dig you out". There are a ton of interventions you could do on that journey and I don't think it makes a convincing argument against picking X in the first place. I spose it is a good example of unforeseen resource constraints that big successful systems encounter. In my limited experience almost all commonly used software breaks under massive load and you have to radically modify or write your own at the largest scales. But by then you are rich so it doesn't matter
