DigitalOcean
PaidCloud for running AI inference, agents and apps in production
What is DigitalOcean?
DigitalOcean is a cloud provider that now positions itself around AI, offering inference through a single API, managed agents, sandboxes for coding agents and a gateway to many external tools. It also keeps its classic compute, storage and database products.
The AI line includes Inference for hosted models, Managed Agents (in public preview), and a Harness Runtime that gives coding agents isolated microVM sessions that can be paused, checkpointed and forked. Action Gateway brokers credentials so the model never sees them.
Everything sits beside traditional cloud services such as managed databases, networking, storage and containers. Pricing is by usage, and the site lists per-hour, per-call and per-token rates for the AI products.
