Managed Kubernetes a small team can hold in its head
DigitalOcean is the platform we reach for when a team needs production Kubernetes and does not need a catalogue of two hundred services to get there. We are a member of the DigitalOcean Partner Pod, which gives us the partner portal, migration support and a route to their team when a customer workload needs scoping.
Why we build on it
01
A platform you can hold in your head is a platform your team can debug at three in the morning. DigitalOcean's catalogue is short by design, and for most products that is a feature rather than a gap, because the services that are missing are usually the ones a young company would not have touched for two years anyway.
02
DOKS gives you a managed control plane, so upgrades, etcd and the API server stop being something your engineers lose evenings to. What is left is the part that carries your product, which is the part worth your attention.
03
Their tutorials are written for someone meeting the concept for the first time, and that shows up in how fast a new engineer gets useful. It is an unglamorous reason to pick a platform and one of the more durable ones.
What we do on it
We are a member of the DigitalOcean Partner Pod, with access to the partner portal, migration support and the opportunity registration used to scope customer workloads.
Being in the programme does not make DigitalOcean the right platform for you. Some workloads want a service catalogue DigitalOcean does not have, and for those we say so and build on AWS or GCP instead. We run all of them, which is what lets the recommendation follow the workload rather than the badge.
