I have droplets in a few regions in the US. They are all up except my Droplet in SFO2. Anyhow, it appears it's DigitalOcean, not you. My droplet has been popping up and falling bac…

I'll share some of my first thoughts. It seems that DO might be more stable as a long-term product than, say, Google Cloud. Google is famous for their Google Graveyard, so it's pos…

So, in the past, I've observed that it's been controversial on HN to use DigitalOcean in production environments. (The same can be said of other cloud platforms as well, but Digita…
