Snapshot

Why this vendor is on watch

Simple, affordable cloud computing for developers. Droplets, Kubernetes, managed databases, and app platform.

DigitalOcean is strongest when Side projects and MVPs and Indie hackers and small teams can validate the workflow on the free plan before adding paid seats. Upgrade only after the free-plan limit blocks a repeated team workflow.
