I am using the solution because a friend recommended it to me. If you require a digital machine and intend to develop your code without the need for infrastructure, DigitalOcean could be an excellent option due to its straightforward setup process. However, for smaller client projects, DigitalOcean may be too robust, and alternatives, such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Filebase may offer similar features at a lower cost. I rate intuitive an eight out of ten.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Nov 21, 2024

Valuable Features

"The solution's app platform simplifies many tasks a developer must handle manually. For instance, when serving a website, the app platform uses NGINX to manage the app's serving, caching, and automatic rerunning in case of failure."
"The technical support services are good."
"It's been a good choice for us for some services. We generally have several deployments. For instance, for some static Angular applications, it was a clear choice to run them on Cloudflare, which performs very well in this context. All the assets go on DigitalOcean."

Room for Improvement

"The deployment time can be improved in DigitalOcean. While deployment is automated, the process can take a minute and a half to five minutes, and for more complex applications, this time increases even further. This is not optimal for applications that receive frequent updates."
"The platform could enhance its features, particularly for ETL processes. Additionally, more integration features would be highly beneficial."
"The issue with DigitalOcean is primarily the latency. So, when you have a mixed system with some components staying here, and then we encounter network latency, it's not optimal. Our"

Pricing

"The tool's pricing is cheap."
"The pricing is moderate and reasonable for a mid-tier cloud platform."
"I would rate DigitalOcean's pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive."
