Compute
Validated on 23 December 2020 • Posted on 23 December 2020
Our suite of compute products lets you create the infrastructure you want, whether you want to build applications by managing your own infrastructure with Droplets, implement modern container-based methodology with Kubernetes, or use a fully-managed Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) environment with App Platform.
DigitalOcean Droplets are Linux-based virtual machines (VMs). Each Droplet you create is a new server you can use. Choose from a variety of Droplet plans to get right resources (like CPU, RAM, and storage) for your workload.

The PHP buildpack received some updates:
- Support for PHP 8.x was added in addition to PHP 7.x. By default, App Platform will use PHP 7.x unless the app specifies a version requirement via Composer.
- Support for Composer 2.x was added in addition to Composer 1.x. App Platform will use the same version of Composer that generated the app’s
composer.lock file.
For more information and configuration options, see the buildpack’s documentation page.
