DigitalOcean GenAI Platform & Cloud Infrastructure is a cloud platform designed for developers to build, train, deploy, and scale AI-powered applications. It offers a full stack of compute, AI/ML tooling, and managed services tailored for AI workloads, including GPU-enabled droplets, a dedicated GenAI Platform, scalable storage, databases, and developer tooling. The platform emphasizes simplicity, predictable pricing, fast onboarding, and integrated guidance to bring AI apps from idea to production quickly.
How it works
- Choose compute resources (CPU or GPU) via Droplets, Kubernetes, Functions, or the GenAI Platform to run your AI workloads.
- Use 1-Click Models powered by Hugging Face to quickly deploy foundational models and customize with your data.
- Build AI agents and apps with GenAI Platform capabilities such as retrieval augmented-generation (RAG), function calling, guardrails, and routing.
- Store and manage data with Managed Databases, Spaces (object storage), and Block Storage.
- Deploy and scale your application with App Platform or Kubernetes, while monitoring and maintaining reliability with DigitalOcean’s SLA-backed services.
