DigitalOcean specialists for your dedicated team.
DigitalOcean is a cloud provider offering virtual machines, managed databases, Kubernetes, object storage and load balancers with simpler pricing and a smaller service catalogue than the major hyperscalers.
Where DigitalOcean fits in a long-term product team.
The appeal is predictability. Flat pricing, generous included bandwidth and a service catalogue small enough to understand mean a team can reason about both their infrastructure and their bill without a specialist. For products that need compute, a database and storage, the hyperscaler catalogue is largely irrelevant complexity.
The limits are real at the top end. Fewer regions, no equivalent to the deeper managed services, and less sophisticated identity and compliance tooling. A product that grows into needing those faces a migration, which is a fair trade for years of simplicity but should be a known one.
What your dedicated team does with DigitalOcean.
Choosing a provider on catalogue breadth, over what the product will use, is a common and expensive mistake. Most applications use a small fraction of what a hyperscaler offers while paying the complexity cost of all of it.
Making that assessment at scoping is part of the work, and how scope is agreed before anything is committed is described in how it works.
Common DigitalOcean use cases.
- Infrastructure a small team can reason about A catalogue and a bill that do not require a dedicated specialist to understand.
- Predictable cost including bandwidth Flat pricing, so a traffic spike does not produce a surprise transfer charge.
- Managed Kubernetes without the surrounding complexity A cluster with the essentials, where the hyperscaler feature set would go unused.
