What region is my app's dev database located in and can I change it?

Dev databases are located in the same region as your app and cannot be migrated to another region. If you migrate your app to a different region, the app won’t be able to access the associated dev database anymore. If you need to migrate your app and dev database, we recommend either backing up the contents of the database and restoring it after the app’s migration, or using a DigitalOcean Managed Database instead. You can migrate managed databases independently of apps to different regions as needed.

Why do I get the error "Domain Already Exists" when trying to add a domain to an app in another account?

You cannot add the same domain name to multiple apps or split an app and domain name across more than one account.

How do I fix an "Image or digest not found" error with multiple registries?

Specify the registry property in the app spec.

Why am I getting an error when trying to forward DigitalOcean Functions to Managed OpenSearch?

Functions does not support forwarding to Managed OpenSearch.
