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. Securely connect your apps to DigitalOcean Managed Databases as trusted sources.
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 Python, Node.js, Go, PHP, Ruby, Hugo and static sites. Have apps in other languages? Simply provide a container image and App Platform will do the rest. You can deploy container images from Docker Hub and DigitalOcean Container Registry.
Deploy code directly from your GitHub and GitLab 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.
Securely connect your apps to DigitalOcean Managed Databases as trusted sources
Gain better visibility into your apps with alerts and monitoring
Forward logs to external systems for better analysis

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.
