Yes, Amazon Route 53 provides Highly Available & Scalable DNS services to the application endpoints.

Route 53 only provides high availability for routing the traffic to healthy endpoints. Route 53 allows health checks for the endpoints and when health checks fail then failover the traffic to the healthy endpoint. 

Route53 Health Checks and Failover are suitable when,

  1. Application is configured to access from multiple endpoints.
  2. Application is configured as Primary Site and Backup Site (DR site)

Note that, When you configured Application accessible using only one endpoint then Route53 can not provide High Availability to route the traffic to the Healthy Targets when the endpoint failed.  

More about the Route53 Failover limitations can be found here
