DigitalOcean
DigitalOcean (DO) focuses on simplicity and developer experience. In 2025, it has expanded into Managed AI (GenAI Platform) and robust PaaS offerings (App Platform).
When to Use
- Startups / SMBs: Predictable pricing, simple UI, no "cloud shock" bills.
- Simple VM Hosting: Droplets are the gold standard for "Just give me a VPS".
- Managed K8s: DOKS is a very affordable compliant Kubernetes service.
Core Concepts
Droplets
Virtual Private Servers (Linux VMs).
App Platform
PaaS (Platform as a Service). Point it to a GitHub repo, and it builds/deploys/scales your app.
