Latest Updates

Upcoming Changes

  • App Platform’s XL build resources (8 CPUs and 20 GiB of memory during builds) are now enabled for all apps by default. The xl-build flag is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Remove xl-build from your app spec to avoid potential errors once the flag is fully retired.

  • DigitalOcean Managed Caching is being discontinued on 30 June 2025.

    To replace Managed Caching, we are offering Managed Valkey, a Redis-compatible alternative with RDMA and higher throughput. All existing Managed Caching clusters automatically convert to Valkey clusters by 30 June 2025 during your upgrade window, retaining all data.
