Introducing DigitalOcean App Platform, a reimagined PaaS for all your apps

October 06, 2020

We are excited to announce the General Availability of DigitalOcean App Platform, a reimagined platform as a service (PaaS) that makes it much simpler and faster to build, deploy, and scale apps. App Platform does the heavy lifting of managing infrastructure, app runtimes, and dependencies – so you can focus on what matters the most: building awesome apps.

Fully managed solution

Deploy code to production in just a few clicks. Simply point to your GitHub repository and App Platform will do the rest.
Secure apps automatically. We create, manage, and renew SSL certificates while also protecting your apps from DDoS attacks.

Maximize developer productivity

Get support for popular languages and frameworks like Python, Node.js, Go, PHP, Ruby, Hugo, Docker, and static sites.
Get the power, scale, and flexibility of Kubernetes without dealing with any of the underlying complexity. Run code with little to no customization.

Scale apps, not costs

Keep costs low not only when you start, but also when you scale your apps.
Easily scale apps vertically or horizontally, and maximize availability with zero downtime deployments.

Predictable, affordable pricing

*You can build and deploy 3 static sites for free on the Starter tier, after which each additional static site will be charged $3/month. The Basic and Professional tiers are ideal for dynamic apps. Learn more about pricing.

We hope you'll check out App Platform. To learn more, read the docs, try out this sample app for an RSS feed aggregator (here are the repos for the frontend and API), and let us know what you think!
