DigitalOcean has always been behind the curve of these things. All of the other big cloud platforms have had this for at least a few months. I haven't actually seen anything 'new' come out of DigitalOcean in years.

Offering these things without exorbitant egress charges is 'new' enough for me.

Been a user of DOs beta kubernetes service and it works well.

Though I would say the title of the linked article is a bit misleading. It is a Kubernetes as a service, like EKS, GKE and AKS.

But not vanilla container service a la ECS, Fargate, the former Docker Cloud, etc.

Echoing @gtf21 and @chrisweekly: in short, us taking out the complexity in using and scaling with cloud capabilities and making learning easy for all developers has been our innovation. We don't always have to be the first to launch to add value to millions of developers around the world :)

So now that's managed K8S, managed databases, load balancers, a cloud firewall that's partially VPC like, object storage and block storage. Curious what's next. Lambdas maybe?

Kafka, redis,...? Seems pretty standard.

Redis and Kafka are both on the roadmap for the second half. We are starting with PostgreSQL in Q1 and then MySQL.
