Decide on the level of control you want over your infrastructure
Do you want to simply write code, click a button, and then have your app automatically deploy? Or, are you looking to set up and maintain the underlying servers that control your application? No matter what kind of development path you are looking to start, we have you covered.
Droplet
Run and manage your app directly on our VMs, or as we call them, droplets. Choose between Basic, General Purpose, CPU-Optimized, or Memory-Optimized VMs. Spin up droplets with your choice of Linux OS in 55 seconds or less.
App Platform
Build, deploy, and scale apps quickly using a simple, fully managed solution. We’ll handle the infrastructure, app runtimes, and dependencies, so that you can push code to production in just a few clicks.
Managed Kubernetes
For our customers out there who want to embrace the complex world of Kubernetes, we have you covered with our Managed Kubernetes product. We have done our best to take as much complexity out of container orchestration as possible.
Maximizing performance by choosing the right storage options
Flexible and scalable data storage is a baseline requirement for most applications and services being developed with modern techniques and tools.
Volume Block Storage
Attach secure and scalable SSD-based Volumes Block Storage to your Droplet.
Spaces Object Storage
S3-compatible object storage with a built-in CDN that makes scaling easy, reliable, and affordable.
Security and reliability with DigitalOcean networking
As part of your setup and deployment process, it is important to include building in robust and thorough security and reliability measures for your systems and applications.
Invest in Managed Databases
Most apps today – big and small – run on data. This data is in turn stored in databases. If you are running a WordPress site, mobile app, or web app, chances are you’re using a database. There are numerous database engines on the market, the popular open source options being MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, and Redis.
