Overall Satisfaction with DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean is used by our engineering team for development, testing and deployment of our production infrastructure. It provides low cost reliable servers, load balancer, storage and most importantly support team.

Pros

  • Best Support Team
  • Low Cost & Reliable
  • Booting up a new Droplet takes less than 1 minute
  • They are continuously improving and adding new services
  • Best documentation for our technical team

Cons

  • There are lot of other services which are missing. For example, Database Service, CDN, Containers, etc.
  • It's the best return on our Investment.
  • Developer satisfaction.
Initially we started using DigitalOcean due to their pricing point as we were in development phase. Slowly when we used it, we starting liking it a lot as it is very fast & easy to get started, compared to the other Cloud Providers we've used. Also they have blogs and documentation for almost everything one needs for managing cloud services. Currently, DigitalOcean handles our production infrastructure with never noticed downtime yet.
In case of SaaS product, your cloud infrastructure is one of the most costly aspect. Thus having low cost of infrastructure allows us to provide high quality services at reasonable rates to our users. Along with it, it must be reliable enough that we can push our production data there. DigitalOcean is best suited for these scenarios. They provides reliable cloud services at reasonable pricing point. Plus they do have free support team, who guide and advise us starting from getting used to the platform to deciding the infrastructure for our production. The only pain point is that, they do have less number of services. But, they are adding them on monthly basis.
