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.

Droplets

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 run times and dependencies, so that you can push code to production in just a few clicks.

Which Droplet Type Should You Use?

DigitalOcean Droplets have quietly evolved from low-cost VMs well-suited to developers’ hobby projects, into a robust compute platform suitable for both business and personal applications. In this video we share an overview of the Droplet type is best suited for your project.

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 deployment process, it is important to include building in robust and thorough security and reliability measures for your systems and applications.

Load Balancers

When you plan for your scaling needs, you’ll always be ready to handle more traffic. Adding a fully managed Load Balancer increases availability by distributing traffic between your Droplets.
