Overall Satisfaction with DigitalOcean Droplets

We use DO droplets to host our applications. We are SaaS platform which includes more than 30 web applications.
We use Digital Ocean to host some of our services along with manager Load Balancer. We also deploy cloud firewalls to protect these droplets from cyber attacks.
  • Quick to setup
  • Faster launch times
  • SSD storage by default
  • Multiple ready to use images for quickly setting up the stack you need
  • Honestly speaking, we never faced any challenge while using the droplets
  • It is developer friendly platform, but may be a bit difficult for non devs to run things
  • Nothing else as such
  • Cost benefit
  • SSDs for amazing performance
  • Ease of setup
  • It helped us run our platform with minimum cost for a long time
  • It was easy for our team to quickly understand and get started
  • The only negative is that you can't shut down the droplets to save cost, you have to destroy the droplets.
Cost is much lesser
Interface is very easy to use
Documentation is readily available for most of the usecases.
