European alternatives to Google Cloud DNS

Google Cloud DNS is the managed authoritative DNS service inside Google Cloud Platform. It publishes your zones on Google's anycast network, supports DNSSEC signing, and offers private zones that resolve only inside your own virtual networks. Teams already building on GCP use it because zones and records can be managed with the same API, command line tools and infrastructure as code as the rest of their project.

That convenience also means your domains are managed inside a US cloud account, and a billing or access problem there becomes a DNS problem for every service you run. A European alternative to Google Cloud DNS separates that dependency and puts your zones with an EU or EFTA operator. ClouDNS and Scaleway DNS provide managed authoritative DNS with APIs, deSEC takes an open and standards driven approach, and DNScale and Nanelo offer straightforward zone hosting.
