We use DigitalOcean mostly for RDS services and cloud-related systems where we want to deploy codes and run them using nginx or other services where it is cheaper to use, and we use it to extract data. For Linux-related tasks, schedulers are easy to implement, so for those purposes we are using DigitalOcean.
We are using the Droplets feature from DigitalOcean. The Droplets feature is beneficial and easy to use.
We haven't used the DigitalOcean API for workload automation, as we only use the DigitalOcean Droplets feature, which we integrate as virtual machines to deploy and run our tasks.
The features of DigitalOcean are advantageous, as it is cheaper to use compared to others. It also has an easy installation process for obtaining a lab or system. They provide direct and easy access to these resources.
It is easy to integrate with third-party services through the DigitalOcean marketplace. The most significant aspect is that we can connect directly to the system from anywhere.
