Cloud DNS

Google Cloud DNS handles authoritative name resolution with low latency, letting you manage records via CLI or REST API. It’s built for teams needing reliable, programmatic control over their DNS infrastructure without relying on third-party resolvers.

This fits organizations comfortable with pay-as-you-go models, but note there is no free tier. You pay from $0.2000 per zone/month, so small projects or those testing DNS changes will incur costs immediately rather than having a zero-cost entry point.
