CoreDNS vs Dyn: What are the differences?

Developers describe CoreDNS as "DNS and Service Discovery". CoreDNS is a DNS server. It is written in Go. It can be used in a multitude of environments because of its flexibility. On the other hand, Dyn is detailed as "Managed DNS, Outsourced DNS & Anycast DNS". An all-in-one Managed DNS service for your registered domain names. Dyn DNS is the perfect solution for your domain name’s DNS needs, whether it is for personal or business use. It gives you complete control over your DNS zone and its associated DNS records, complete with a simple DNS management web interface.
