Your agent has been refactoring for two hours. It’s deep in the codebase, making real progress, and then it stops: “Can I run this migration?” Nothing happens until you answer. And you’re not at your desk.

Ask a coding agent which Python version to upgrade to from 3.11, and it picks one from memory. It cites a few changes from that version’s release notes and calls the upgrade straightforward.

You ship an agent. It runs in production, sessions start and finish, and the dashboards stay green. But then a user mentions that they spent ten minutes retrying the same failing command with slightly different arguments before giving up...

A few weeks ago, we handed an AI agent one of the scariest jobs in infrastructure: moving huffl’s production backend from Supabase to DigitalOcean. huffl.ai is a real product.

Prompt caching is now generally available on DigitalOcean Serverless Inference, across supported models in our open model catalog, with no changes to your request code required.

AI hasn’t changed what secure software looks like, but what has changed is almost everything about how software gets built. Security programs designed around old processes are anchored to points on a lifecycle that no longer exist.

DigitalOcean is aware of two critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities in PHP, tracked as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, publicly disclosed on October 21, 2026.

An agent starts a test suite, edits a file, calls a model, and waits. Later, it resumes work with the same processes, files, and context. Sometimes it needs to fork that environment and try two approaches at once.

Every few weeks, a new model steps up and claims best-in-class at something. The launch chart makes the case, the link makes the rounds, and your team is back to the question nobody has time for: should we switch?
Oct 13
A coding agent finishes a change and wants to open a GitHub issue with a link to its results. The agent can describe the issue, but creating it belongs to a different system.
Oct 12
You ship an agent. It mostly works. Then the feedback loop becomes a support ticket: a user got the wrong answer, a tool call looped four times, a refund went out that shouldn’t have.
Oct 12
Coding agents have changed how fast teams ship, and more of the software they ship now includes agents. A production agent spans model calls, routing decisions, tools, and the infrastructure underneath.

Agents are only as capable as the context they can reach. An agent with reliable access to the right information makes decisions grounded in fact; one without it guesses.

Coding-agent platforms, sandbox products, and code-execution services all need the same thing: isolated machines that start up fast, retain their state between bursts of work, and don’t consume compute when idle.

If you run a multi-team organization, you need to see what each team can provision and change it without filing a ticket. If you sign in to DigitalOcean every day, you want to decide how long you stay signed in.

An AI agent uses compute differently than a traditional application. Over a single session, it writes and runs code, calls a model, and waits on a tool or a person before picking the work back up.

Last week we launched DigitalOcean Managed Agents in public preview: a managed runtime, governed access to more than 16,000 tools, serverless inference, and persistent memory and storage, all on one cloud.

Built to align with NVIDIA’s Agent Safety Platform strategy for securing autonomous agents Consider an agent investigating a duplicate charge.

Compute (EC2) opened the front door to the first generation cloud. Agents need something different: compute, inference, and data working as one.
Sep 22
Following a successful private preview, we’re thrilled to open DigitalOcean Managed Agents to everyone. Teams can now deploy their preferred agent harness (like OpenCode, Codex CLI) or bring their own, connect agents to 16,000+ tools, and...

As your business scales, your database shifts from a simple storage layer to the critical heart of your application architecture.

Intelligence was yours. A founder’s intellectual property, business logic, differentiation, their intelligence, was once theirs alone. You built it, you owned it, and no tools/platform vendor stood between you and your customers.

Omarchy is a keyboard-first Linux desktop built on Arch and Hyprland by David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH), and its production pipeline, packaging builds, PR review agents, and QA testing, now run on DigitalOcean.

We’re excited to introduce v5 Droplets, a new generation of compute built on 5th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors. v5 Droplets are purpose built to deliver higher performance for demanding workloads such as compute-intensive agentic AI platforms...
