kodomeny

Kodomeny is a term found in some Czech- and Slovak-language technical discussions to describe a naming concept that combines elements of code and domain naming within software and web infrastructure. It is not a formal term in international standards bodies and has no separate registry; it operates within the broader domain name system (DNS) managed by ICANN and national registries.

The word is a blend of kód (code) and domény (domains), reflecting an emphasis on naming resources that are closely tied to software components, environments, or services. In practice, kodomeny is used to discuss conventions for organizing domain names so they convey information about the component they identify, such as application, service type, or deployment environment, rather than for a centralized technical specification.

Usage of the concept remains informal and varies by organization. It may appear in technical blogs, internal documentation, or architecture discussions to describe approaches for subdomain schemes, API routing, or service discovery where domain names encode metadata about the code behind the endpoint. There is no universally accepted standard for kodomeny, and implementations differ from one project to another, often aligning with existing DNS practices rather than introducing new protocols.

Related concepts include domain naming, subdomains, and hostname conventions within DNS, as well as approaches to service naming and routing in microservice architectures. See also DNS, domain name system, subdomain, and API endpoint naming.
