App Platform
Get apps to market faster
Build, deploy, and scale apps quickly using a simple, fully managed solution. We’ll handle the infrastructure, app runtimes and dependencies, so that you can push code to production in just a few clicks.
Starting at $5/mo
Build, deploy, manage, and scale apps- Support for Node.js, Python, Django, Go, PHP, Laravel, React, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Gatsby, Hugo, Docker, static sites
- Zero infrastructure management
- Highly scalable
Code to production in just a few clicks
Fully managed solution
- Use a simple, intuitive, and visually rich experience to rapidly build, deploy, manage, and scale apps.
- Secure apps automatically. We create, manage and renew your SSL certificates and also protect your apps from DDoS attacks.
- Focus on what matters the most: building awesome apps. Let us handle provisioning and managing infrastructure, operating systems, databases, application runtimes, and other dependencies.
Maximize developer productivity
- Get out of the box support for popular languages and frameworks like Node.js, Python, Django, Go, PHP, Laravel, React, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Gatsby, Hugo, and static sites. Have apps in other languages? Simply create a Dockerfile and App Platform will do the rest.
- Deploy code directly from your GitHub repositories. Automatically re-deploy the app when you push updates to your source code.
- Run code with little to no customization. App Platform uses open, cloud native standards and automatically analyzes your code, creates containers, and runs them on Kubernetes clusters.
Scale apps, not costs
- Keep costs low and easily optimize resources and costs as you scale apps. By running App Platform on DigitalOcean’s infrastructure, we make it simpler for you to control costs.
- Scale horizontally or vertically to handle planned or unplanned traffic spikes.
- Maximize availability with zero downtime deployments. Your apps remain available not only when you scale up or out, but also when you roll out new changes.

Bachtiar Rifai
Cofounder & CEO, Volantis Technology
I build apps and websites. I understand networking, but I'm not a specialist. DigitalOcean App Platform keeps me doing what I do best, not worrying about scaling my network. App Platform makes it very easy to deploy, understand, and debug any issues with my applications. The UI is super intuitive and much easier to use than competitors like AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

With DigitalOcean App Platform I can seamlessly deploy my applications to the cloud without worrying about infrastructure and the typical operational concerns. Combined with the ability to provision a managed PostgreSQL database with daily backups and automated failover, I can sleep at night knowing my apps are running
