On App platform we can have domains from Digital Ocean and our own. Since DO-made domain is accessible for everyone, isn’t it bad for SEO? Google might think that website on our own domain is duplicated. I’m not an expert, and will be grateful for the answer.

I would say this is not bad for SEO, but as you know there are a few steps you need to take in order to ensure that your domain name will appear correctly in the search engines.
You can submit a sitemap for the domain to Google Search Console and configure your robots.txt file accordingly.

Hi there,
Quick update here, App Platform now supports subdomain routing, which also allows you to disable an app’s starter domain.
For setup instructions, see How to Manage Domains in App Platform.
