Build your infrastructure for high-performance and high-availability
We want to ensure that all of our customers have the knowledge and tools to make their infrastructure resilient, available, and fast.
Decide on the level of control you want over your infrastructure.
Do you want to simply write code, click a button, and then have your app automatically deploy? Or are you looking to set up and maintain the underlying servers that control your application? No matter what kind of development path you are looking to start we have you covered.
App Platform
Build, deploy, and scale apps quickly using a simple, fully managed solution. We’ll handle the infrastructure, app run times and dependencies, so that you can push code to production in just a few clicks.
Maximizing performance by choosing the right storage options
Flexible and scalable data storage is a baseline requirement for most applications and services being developed with modern techniques and tools.
Volume Block Storage
Attach secure and scalable SSD-based Volumes Block Storage to your Droplet.
Spaces Object Storage
S3-compatible object storage with a built-in CDN that makes scaling easy, reliable, and affordable.
Droplets
Run and manage your app directly on our VMs, or as we call them, Droplets. Choose between Basic, General Purpose, CPU-Optimized, or Memory-Optimized VMs. Spin up Droplets with your choice of Linux OS in 55 seconds or less.
Security and reliability with DigitalOcean networking
As part of your deployment process, it is important to include building in robust and thorough security and reliability measures for your systems and applications.
Load Balancers
When you plan for your scaling needs, you’ll always be ready to handle more traffic. Adding a fully managed Load Balancer increases availability by distributing traffic between your Droplets.
VPC
Whether running multi-tier web applications or public-facing static websites, VPC can help isolate your resources.
Floating IP
Implement a failover mechanism with floating IPs to build a high availability infrastructure.
Cloud Firewalls
Adding a firewall ensures the security of your website as it blocks malicious traffic – at no extra cost.
Domains and DNS
Domains you manage on DigitalOcean also integrate with DigitalOcean Load Balancers and Spaces to streamline automatic SSL certificate management.
