You can use DigitalOcean to deploy virtual servers, manage relational databases, and host scalable web applications. The service provides virtual machines known as Droplets, managed Kubernetes clusters, block and object storage, and managed databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL. Developers can run machine learning models using dedicated GPU clusters or serverless endpoints with automated routing. In addition, you can deploy autonomous AI agents inside secure microVMs, manage network firewalls, attach load balancers, and automate application deployments directly from your code repositories with predictable monthly pricing.
