App Platform

Logs can only be exported to a limited number of platforms. Adding an option for open telemetry exporter would increase this number significantly and unburden Digital Ocean, because it is on the vendors to implement the API and not on Digital Ocean to integrate with each vendor, especially for log exporting where there are unlikely to be any vendor specific enhancements that could be taken advantage of.

It would be nice to see App Platform running both over IPv4 and IPv6 since IPv6-only networks are slowly starting to appear.

It would be great if we could use cloud firewalls to control access to deployed applications using App Platform. I've got some private applications that I would deploy using your PaaS offering immediately if I could firewall it off.

For example, a Django app can run on the apex domain, a web service on 'api.', and a static wiki on 'docs.'

We should be able to disable the starter domain in App Platform or create a 301 redirect to a custom domain. With this not being an option static sites are always duplicated, which is a terrible SEO practice. At the very least it would be nice being able to set a robots.txt file in the starter domain to prevent search engines from indexing it.

Please provide autoscale feature in App Platform based on RAM usage. Because I think it's commonly needed by most apps nowadays. Thank you

Hello, Could you provide JSONSchema for specification of App Definition? JSONSchema is well-adopted format to document in machine-readable way structure of documents like JSON. YAML too. The specification in this format can be used to create by community various tools to support the management of App Definition, i.e. liners, GitHub Actions with a liner, and auto-completion in IDE. I would recommend generating the current HTML documentation also based on the App Definition specification to keep it always up-to-date. Examples of alternative specifications for YAML files: GitHub Actions - https://json.schemastore.org/github-workflow.json .travis.yml - https://json.schemastore.org/travis.json drone – https://json.schemastore.org/drone.json Appveyor - https://json.schemastore.org/appveyor.json A lot of IDE have support for JSONSchema for autocomplete of JSON / YAML files eg. Visual Studio Code ( https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/json ).

We are looking for sending scheduled updates to the users of the application. We are doing I in others platform providers by using configuring CRON jobs. This is a sort of missing feature in App Platform. looking forward to be available soon.

Go 1.24 brings a lot of nice features, and currently if you use app platform, you can only use go versions up to 1.23. I believe the underlying heroku build pack supports 1.24. This restriction is a non negotiable for me and as such I will have to switch to another provider if I can’t use go 1.24.

Being able to integrate Apps into a VPC together with droplets and managed databases, would allow secure / private access to them. Maybe even kubernetes could be integrated.
