App Platform is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering that allows developers to publish code directly to DigitalOcean servers without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
We have released a new catalog of pricing plans for App Platform. The new plans offer lower pricing on instances with dedicated CPUs and better egress bandwidth allowance. All previous plans will eventually be deprecated. We strongly recommend you use the new plans when creating or upgrading apps.
App Platform developer databases now default to use PostgreSQL 14 upon creation instead of PostgreSQL 12. You can create a database that uses PostgreSQL 16 by specifying the engine version in your app’s spec, like this:
databases:
- engine: PG
name: db-example
version: "16"
We have added minimum and maximum values for the health check configuration parameters in App Platform. The new limits are:
initial_delay_seconds
: Minimum 0 seconds, maximum 3600 secondsperiod_seconds
: Minimum 1 second, maximum 300 secondstimeout_seconds
: Minimum 1 second, maximum 120 secondssuccess_threshold
: Minimum 1 successful check, maximum 50 successful checkfailure_threshold
: Minimum 1 failed check, maximum 50 failed checksWe have updated the Ruby buildpack. This adds a new version of Ruby, V2, and updates the default version for the buildpack. For more information and configuration options, see the buildpack’s documentation page. * Default Ruby version is now 3.1.4 * Add Ruby versions 3.2.2, 3.2.1, 3.2.0 * Add Ruby versions 2.7.8, 3.0.6, 3.1.4
