About Digital Ocean
DigitalOcean is a cloud infrastructure provider targeting developers, startups, and SMBs with a simpler pricing model and UX than hyperscalers like AWS or GCP. It offers virtual machines (Droplets), managed databases, Kubernetes clusters, object storage (Spaces), and an App Platform for container-based deployments. Billing is per-second with predictable monthly caps, and new accounts receive $200 in free credits for 60 days. It is widely used by indie developers and small engineering teams who prioritize cost predictability over the breadth of AWS services.
