Droplets

Definition

Droplets are virtual private servers (VPS) provided by DigitalOcean, which can be used to deploy applications, host websites, or run any software that requires cloud-based infrastructure. Each droplet is a fully isolated instance with its own dedicated resources such as CPU, RAM, and storage.

Context and Usage

Droplets are the core compute resource in DigitalOcean, used by developers to build and scale their applications in the cloud. They can be configured with different operating systems, pre-installed with popular development frameworks, and integrated with other DigitalOcean services like managed databases, block storage, and monitoring. Droplets are versatile and scalable, allowing users to select the optimal size and configuration based on their workload and budget.
