App Platform, Spaces, Managed DB. Deploy in minutes.
DigitalOcean offers App Platform (PaaS), Spaces (S3-compatible storage), Managed Databases and Droplets. We use it when the priority is fast deployment, predictable pricing and no infra management - with full EU region support.
DigitalOcean works well for projects requiring simple, predictable hosting and PaaS.
DigitalOcean has its limits - in some scenarios AWS or another cloud will fit better.
DigitalOcean is built around App Platform (PaaS), Spaces, Managed DB and optionally Droplets.
Deploy from repo (Git). Auto build (e.g. Node, Next.js), env vars, scale by instances. No server management.
Object storage for files, uploads, assets. S3-compatible API - easy integration (e.g. AWS SDK). CDN included.
PostgreSQL, Redis, MySQL - backups, patches, HA. Access from App Platform or Droplets via connection string.
DigitalOcean offers security basics and ability to host in EU regions.
EU regions (e.g. Frankfurt) - data in EU, support for GDPR requirements with proper app configuration.
Secrets in App Platform as env vars (encrypted at rest). No secrets in repo.
Spaces: private buckets, signed URLs, CORS. Access only via app with proper keys.
Predictable pricing, simple scaling and monitoring in the dashboard.
App Platform: from tens of USD/month. Spaces: $5/month per bucket. Managed DB: from ~$15/month. Predictable, no hidden fees.
App Platform: more instances or larger plan. DB: higher tier. No cluster management.
We typically deploy apps on App Platform with Managed DB and Spaces as needed.
App Platform from repo (Git), env vars, domain. Optionally Spaces and Managed DB.
CI/CD via push to repo. Logs and monitoring in DigitalOcean dashboard. DB backups handled by DO.
Yes. Regions include Frankfurt (FRA1). Data can be stored in the EU, supporting GDPR requirements with proper app configuration.
App Platform: apps from Git, zero server management. Droplet: when you need full control, custom stack or unusual services. For most of our projects App Platform is enough.
