What their customers say

Quotes from people at DigitalOcean's customers.

““With the hyperscalers, we'd probably still be waiting in a queue.””

Oscar Wu · AI Research Scientist and Founder · Workato AI Research Lab

““ DigitalOcean’s the only provider that actually gives you that whole scale. There’s no equivalent tier with any other provider where you can start simple and then scale up complexity. That’s a really unique positioning, and it’s worth a lot. ””

Peter Elias · Founder · Probably

““ We're not tokenmaxxers, we want the most intelligence per dollar, and Inference Router routes every request to the model that gets us the best result. ””

Travis Beale · CTO · Consumable

““ DigitalOcean’s swift scalability, excellent support, and competitive pricing made it a no-brainer for us to stay with DigitalOcean. ””

Fernando Marrero · Lead DevOps Engineer · Traject Data

““ It's been a huge force-multiplier for our team, it gets the right ticket to the right person without anyone having to watch every thread themselves. ””

““We were looking for a provider like DigitalOcean, which had availability but also reliability at scale.””

Sean Zhao · Co-Founder · ACE Studio

““As we scaled, Inference Router became a key part of our architecture. We’ve been able to reduce inference costs by over 40%, while maintaining the accuracy, speed, and reliability our users expect.””

Hovsep Seraydarian · Co-founder & CTO · LawVo

““The whole point of building on open source is that you’re never locked in. One SGLang codebase serves DeepSeek on both NVIDIA and AMD. No fork, no rewrite. DigitalOcean gives us the capacity to prove that in production, so we can keep our roadmap open and deploy frontier models wherever they run best,” He says.”

Harry He · RadixArk

““AMD joined our co-development effort and enabled HIP graph support, which improved throughput by approximately 10x,” says Yusheng Su, Member of Technical Staff at RadixArk.”

““For multi-node setups, DigitalOcean Droplets work really well. The interconnect is set up automatically when you spin up the Droplet, which was a big benefit when we ran across multiple nodes,” Wang adds.”

RadixArk

““DigitalOcean had clear availability on the AMD hardware we needed,” says Harry He, a founding member of the RadixArk team.”

“"Even little things, like the support for our nodes, when we need very specific questions about the inference stack and the hardware. DigitalOcean has been great in that regard,””

Debajyoti Datta · Co-Founder · Hippocratic AI

““What I deeply care about is when it breaks, do we have reliable partners with whom we can scale? The DigitalOcean team has been great with us,””

Debajyoti Datta · Co-Founder · Hippocratic AI

““NVIDIA has incredible hardware, Hopper, Blackwell GPUs, and DigitalOcean has been literally one of our main partners to get to this hardware the fastest,””

Debajyoti Datta · Co-Founder · Hippocratic AI

“At the heart of the patient experience is a hardware and software stack you can trust. I'm completely convinced all systems will fail and all nodes fail. What matters is having partners when things break, and how fast you can get back up. And that has been a great experience with DigitalOcean.”

Debajyoti Datta · Co-Founder · Hippocratic AI
