Why thousands of ISVs and startups run on DigitalOcean

Whether your applications were born in the cloud or built from decades of industry expertise, DigitalOcean offers the best performance at a market-leading price. Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) scale faster using the efficiency of managed Kubernetes and deliver an optimal experience for all their customers.

We soon found out that the service we received from DigitalOcean was the best in terms of stability of the Droplets and the bandwidth, and all of the network that comes out of the data centers. It's very stable. This is the key point, and that stability has helped us to increase our volume as well.
Creating a first-of-its-kind video platform as a startup is a near impossible task without partners that are not only tremendously talented, but have the same forward thinking as you do. DigitalOcean has helped us go from architecture to launch by pairing us with strategic partners who are like-minded and innovative.

The high availability control plane is a great addition, as it means we can be even more confident in the availability of hardware provided by you. We've never had an availability issue from DigitalOcean.

We chose DigitalOcean Kubernetes because we like simplicity. In the beginning, we had a small team and didn't have the resources to manage a Kubernetes cluster. We wanted to spend time developing the product instead of managing infrastructure.
