Making zone management more efficient with batch DNS record updates

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced support for batched API calls to its DNS records API, allowing customers to make large changes to their zones more efficiently than before. This feature enables users to execute POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE methods in a single batch request, reducing the need for custom scripts or programs. The new endpoint is fully atomic, using a single database transaction, and can handle up to 100,000 changes in one call. This improvement not only reduces API latency but also lowers the overall database query load.
