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 the 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 fully managed Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that deploys applications from Git repositories or container images. It automatically builds, deploys, and scales components while handling all underlying infrastructure.

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

Upcoming Changes

• App Platform’s XL build resources (8 CPUs and 20 GiB of memory during builds) are now enabled for all apps by default. The xl-build flag is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Remove xl-build from your app spec to avoid potential errors once the flag is fully retired.

20 May 2026

• Request-based autoscaling for App Platform is now in general availability. Service components can scale automatically based on HTTP traffic metrics, including requests per second and P95 request duration, in addition to or instead of CPU utilization. Request-based autoscaling works with both shared and dedicated CPU plans.

  Configure request-based autoscaling in the DigitalOcean Control Panel, with the API, or with doctl.

19 May 2026

• DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) now supports single sign-on (SSO) with OIDC in public preview. You can authenticate users to your Kubernetes clusters through an identity provider like Auth0, JumpCloud, Keycloak, or Okta, instead of using token-based authentication.

  SSO is configured per cluster with an issuer URL and client ID from your identity provider. You can enable it using doctl.

5 May 2026

• A remote MCP server is now available for Functions, providing API-based access for AI tools to manage DigitalOcean resources.
