    I would only get into it if I where willing to pay for the support plan and getting some assurances from the team as to where they are headed. The platform itself is great and can save you a ton of hard work and money. but it's hard to be confidant in it's sustainability.

    It is well suited for products where there are a lot of users at scale performing and interacting with the platform. Also where businesses need to take informed decisions based on mass users performing actions at scale. Therefore demand analytics tools like Parrot can be a real boon for such businesses. It is less appropriate for those who are not having users at that scale. Scale is very important I believe and analytics can be even more powerful once we have a lot of data on our hands.

    Cons
    DigitalOcean
    • The company has not been very communicative as of lately. Not much news, no apparent work on missing features.
    • Some components are incomplete as far as some critical features. For example, I use RethinkDB as my database and it's missing critical features like backup and clustering, so It is unusable and they should have made that clear from the get go.
    • The pricing on the support plan is vague. I do have the feeling it is actually well worth the money, but it's hard to form a decisions based without more predictable specific.
    • Seems to me like the platform's future is unclear.

    It can help you to host your virtual appliance or serverless application at very low cost. DigitalOcean marketplace also helps you to deploy the serverless app or virtual appliance effortlessly. It is suitable for small scale deployment and the process to setup an account and roll out your app via marketplace is easy and cheap.

    Return on Investment
    DigitalOcean
    • The platform is saving me a lot of time I would have been wasting on operations instead of development.
    • The platform is saving me a lot of money as I can easily switch between cloud providers to find the best price.
    • I am worried though for the price I might have to pay in case of an unexpected system issue.
    • Hopefully I will be able to pay the support plan before that.
