Solutions

Kubernetes

With Kubernetes, you can easily scale up and deploy containerized apps in clusters.

 

Using DigitalOcean, you get all the primary Kubernetes components for free.

 

So, does that mean that you’ll be only paying for the resources that are used? Well, yes, most definitely.

Load balacers

It is easy to enable load balancers on DigitalOcean. Once they are enabled, these load balancers work forth to spread out your traffic to the multiple droplets. This ensures that all the users have an optimal experience. For the load balancers, you’ll have to pay out a minimal and flat hourly fee.

One-Click Apps

With DigitalOcean, you get one-click apps for your droplets. As a result of this, you actually happen to save more time. These apps comprise Lamp Stack, WordPress, MySQL, Ruby On Rails, Docker, Node.js, Gitlab etc.
