What if I want to use Cloudflare to optimize my site example.combut, I dont want to use full DNS of Cloudflare; Can I keep some records on another DNS provider (AWS Route53) like mx record?
You can.
Though, what do you mean by “some”? The nameservers have nothing to do with the DNS entries you set up. Those will always use different services.
So if you want to keep using your existing nameservers, you need to use mentioned setup. Otherwise you simply configure everything on Cloudflare.
As Im able to understand we can do partial setup with subdomain by assign CNAME.
My primary DNS provider is Route53 (full DNS are here for example dot com). and now I want route my traffic on example dot com (root domain) via Cloudflare without migrating full DNS setup.
Partially yes. You will be able to set it up for any hostname of your choice, however not for the naked domain, unless your DNS provider offers some sort of CNAME resolution, as naked domains cannot use CNAME entries. That’s something to clarify with your provider.
