Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used the DigitalOcean platform to host our SCIM bridge serverless hosting for another security product. The security product itself had limitation on providing the user automation features via SCIM and hence required a virtual appliance to be the bridge before SCIM can be enabled. We had selected DigitalOcean because of the easy setup and costing over other hosting provider.

  • Hosting of load balancer
