We started migrating all of our applications to App Platform. It was really easy to handle everything, I don't have to be a master DevOps engineer who knows everything just to develop one application. We have around 70 App Platforms now, and it has changed the way we deploy—we have only one DevOps engineer for all of our projects.

DigitalOcean App Platform's price performance was the best—it was much much cheaper than Heroku and it also abstracted away a layer of complexity that we just didn’t need to deal with because we’re such a small team.

Of all the services I have tried, the one I like the most is the App Platform and how easy it is to configure everything.

I needed a platform to host my upcoming AI-based app from frontend to middleware to backend with databases, block storage and machine learning. I didn't want all of my technology in different servers, on different platforms, and custom-created to run on a particular infrastructure. As such, DigitalOcean provided me with all of the above and made it next to seamless to integrate with each other.

Your app platform is awesome, I've just migrated 2 static sites (previously running on a droplet) and it works great. You're the only cloud that helps me save money. I'm always recommending you to everyone :)

Key features
The languages you love
Support popular frameworks like Node.js, Python, Django, Go, PHP, and static sites right out of the box—or bring your own Dockerfile or container image for complete flexibility.
Built-in security
We create, manage, and renew your SSL certificates to protect your apps from DDoS attacks and provide automatic OS patching for added security.
Scale with ease
Set and forget with smart autoscaling that fits your budget. Scale horizontally to maintain app availability during planned or unplanned traffic spikes.
Deploy faster
Deploy code directly from your GitHub and GitLab repositories and automatically redeploy apps when you push updates to your source code.
Quickly add functions
Easily add functions as components of your apps. Use these functions to quickly add serverless APIs to your web apps or mobile apps.
Secure your traffic
Securely connect your apps to 3rd-party databases, APIs, and SaaS programs using dedicated IPs so you can enable IP whitelisting and keep unwanted traffic out.
Rollback as needed
Track progress of deployments with clear indicators and easily rollback to previous deployments of the app.
Alerts, monitoring & insights
Set up alerts and monitoring for events such as successful deployment and domain configuration. Gain insights into resources used by your app.
Better log analysis
Forward application logs to providers like Papertrail, Datadog, or your own managed OpenSearch cluster for deeper troubleshooting and analytics.
Integration with AI coding tools
Integrate AI-powered coding assistants – including Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code MCP plugins – directly with DigitalOcean App Platform using the new DigitalOcean MCP Server . This means that your AI assistant can deploy applications, spin up databases, manage Spaces, check billing, and more – without leaving your coding environment.
