better price-performance for our AI platform vs. AWS Bedrock**
*Based on our migrations with other customers such as NoBid and PiCap. **Based on an internal benchmarking study conducted in September 2025 measuring throughput/$ using the Llama 3.3 70B model. The study compared throughput/$ using 1024/64 input/output tokens in AWS Bedrock and DigitalOcean's GradientTM AI platform. Performance may vary depending on number of input and output tokens.

Why teams are migrating to DigitalOcean
“Compared to other big cloud providers, the cost savings with DigitalOcean is 30-50%, depending on the region. It’s not only lower cost, but more importantly, the pricing structure is much easier to navigate and optimize.”
– Vojtech Kurka, Co-founder and CTO of Meiro
“We had to make a choice between consolidating our server resources in DigitalOcean or consolidating them in AWS. And based on our cost modeling, DigitalOcean was the better deal for our workload.”
- Travis Beale, CTO at Consumable
