Product Updates
- Introducing new DigitalOcean Load Balancers for higher-scale business applications: We are excited to introduce more scalable plans for DigitalOcean Load Balancer. Our new 'Medium' Load Balancer is a great fit for transaction-driven sites or services with moderate traffic, and costs just $30 per month. Our 'Large' Load Balancer is ideal for higher-traffic sites or API endpoints, and costs $60 per month. Users of our existing $10 per month Load Balancer will find that these are now classified as 'Small.' Check out the docs to learn more.
- Managed Databases for Redis 6 are now available: We recently upgraded Managed Databases from Redis 5 to Redis 6. This means if you spin up a cluster for Managed Redis, you will now have access to Redis 6. You can no longer create Redis 5 clusters. Redis 6 provides a lot of new functionality related to security, performance, and ease of use. We hope this upgrade will enable you to get the most out of Redis.
- Get DigitalOcean credits for use of the "Deploy to DigitalOcean" button: If you refer someone to DigitalOcean via the 'Deploy to DigitalOcean' button using a valid referral code, they'll receive credits on their account as soon as they add a valid payment method. Additionally, you'll receive credit with DigitalOcean for the referral.
- Marketplace updates: We launched many preconfigured 1-Click Apps in the DigitalOcean Marketplace to help you save time and remove the hassle of provisioning servers.
- Cloud Manager: A feature-rich web UI for Kubernetes, designed from the ground-up to support all the workflows needed by developers when deploying cloud-native and microservice applications.
