DigitalOcean App Platform is a fully managed platform-as-a-service that builds, deploys, and scales apps from source code or container images without managing servers. It supports common languages and frameworks plus container-registry deployment, with shared and dedicated CPU options, application metrics, automatic OS patching, log forwarding, and managed databases. Aimed at developers, startups, and small-to-mid teams who want Heroku-style simplicity on DigitalOcean's lower-cost infrastructure, it offers a standing free tier for static sites and paid containers from $5/month.
