Compute

Build your application the way you want with our suite of compute products including VMs, managed containers, PaaS, and serverless functions.

Droplets

DigitalOcean Droplets are Linux-based virtual machines (VMs). Each Droplet you create is a new server you can use. Choose from a variety of Droplet plans to get right resources (like CPU, RAM, and storage) for your workload.

DigitalOcean Kubernetes

DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that lets you deploy Kubernetes clusters without the complexities of handling the control plane and containerized infrastructure. Clusters are compatible with standard Kubernetes toolchains and integrate natively with DigitalOcean Load Balancers and volumes.

App Platform

App Platform is a platform as a service (PaaS) offering that lets you publish code directly to DigitalOcean servers without worrying about the underlying infrastructure, runtimes, or dependencies.

Functions

DigitalOcean Functions is a function as a service (FaaS) offering that lets you run your local serverless code in the cloud using Node.js, Python, Go, or PHP without managing any backend infrastructure.

Cloudways

Cloudways is a managed cloud hosting platform where teams can build, deploy, and scale web applications.

Latest Updates

• Network load balancers are now in now in public preview. Network load balancers are regional load balancers that route traffic at the TCP/UDP transport level. You must opt-in to the public preview to create network load balancers.

• IPv6 support for regional external load balancers is now in general availability. You may now choose between IPv4-only or dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 networking when you create standalone load balancers. All DOKS load balancers created after 28 February 2025 are dual-stack.

13 February 2025

• We have updated the following buildpacks for App Platform:

  • Node.JS buildpack: We have added additional Nodejs versions.
    • Adds Node.js version 23.7.0 - 23.0.0
    • Adds Node.js version 22.13.1 - 22.6.0
    • Adds Node.js version 20.18.2 - 20.16.0
    • Adds Node.js version 18.20.6 - 18.20.5

  App Platform has updated the Node.js default version from v20 to v22. This is because v22 is the current stable LTS version and v20 is now in maintenance phase. Best practices for pinning the Node.js version in the package.json for apps should be followed in order to avoid build failures. Visit the Node.js buildpack to learn more about specifying a Node.js Engine version.
