Compute

Our suite of compute products lets you create the infrastructure you want, whether you want to build applications by managing your own infrastructure with Droplets, implement modern container-based methodology with Kubernetes, use a fully-managed Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) environment with App Platform, or go serverless with DigitalOcean 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.

Paperspace

Paperspace is a cloud-based machine learning platform that offers GPU-powered virtual machines and a Kubernetes-based container service.

Latest Updates

20 November 2024

• You can now restart App Platform apps without fetching the latest changes from your app’s repository. This feature is useful for restarting apps stuck in a connection loop or deadlock.

14 November 2024

• We have released a new Heroku-based Node.js buildpack for App Platform. It includes new features and security updates. All new Node.js apps now use this buildpack upon creation by default.

  To migrate existing apps to use the new buildpack, see our guide.

1 November 2024

• App Platform’s new sample app deployment feature is now in General Availability. This allows you to quickly copy a sample app into a new repo on your GitHub account and then deploy it to App Platform.
