Description DigitalOcean was founded in 2012 to meet the needs of developers who were looking for simple, affordable cloud computing solutions. Our first product, the Droplet, is an easy-to-use virtual machine that can be spun up in just minutes. Over the past decade, DigitalOcean has evolved to the Inference Cloud — a full-stack, production-ready cloud platform built to run AI applications with predictable performance, sustainable economics, and radically simpler operations at scale.

We are built for teams turning AI into real products — not just training models. Our advantage is not fewer features, but fewer failure modes when operating AI at scale — combining minimal operational overhead, predictable cost efficiency, and a full-stack cloud that works as a system. Hyperscalers are broad by design. Neoclouds are infrastructure-first. DigitalOcean is inference-first — with a real cloud underneath. It combines inference-optimized compute, managed inference software, and integrated cloud capabilities that reduce operational burden for teams running real workloads. Inference is the foundation—not the boundary. Everything else builds on top of it.

DigitalOcean recently achieved record growth as a $1B global inference cloud company, supporting over 640K customers in 190 countries across 18 globally distributed data centers.
