Hi there,
YugabyteDB isn’t currently supported in DigitalOcean’s managed database offerings. You can check the full list here: https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/managed-databases (includes PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, etc.).
If you’d like to see YugabyteDB added, definitely suggest it on https://ideas.digitalocean.com/
In the meantime, you can self-host YugabyteDB on a Droplet, or use managed PostgreSQL if that fits your use case.
