App Platform

DO app platform is based on heroku python buildpack v253 (from july 2024) and thus supports only up to python 3.12 python 3.13 is around for some while and also the heroku buildpack is at v276 now for a PaaS its quite important to be up to date, so what's the plan here?

Suppose I have a server with a cronjob that will be calling a function within the file system, that server is deployed into 4 instances, meaning there are 4 cronjobs. These cronjobs will compete in race conditions and may result in duplicate results that would be troubling. Would be great to identify the server instance in which each of these cronjobs are hosted in and use it as part of a locking mechanism using a shared database.

When you create a new app in app platform Cloudflare CDN is enabled by default. This creates a lot of overhead in requests if you use it with your own CDN. eg. My CDN -> App Platform Cloudflare CDN -> Origin server. We should be able to disable App platform’s CDN via App Platform settings.

We would like to connect to a remote SFTP server from our App Container. This is currently not possible because port 22 is blocked. We don't need to connect to the App Container, just from the App Container to a remote server.

I am planning to use app platform to deploy WebRTC server using docker. For this I need to open ports from 10000 to 20000. Unfortunately , right now there is no way to open port range to public using App spec. Please add this feature.

I've recently tried to deploy a docker container using the DigitalOcean app platform and came across some issues with publishing exposed ports. My app requires 3 UDP ports to be published (and 1 TCP port). However DigitalOcean does not support UDP ports for docker containers, which makes it impossible for me to host this container on the app platform. I would like to be able to publish multiple ports, both TCP and UDP.

I would like to see an option to modify Cloudflare behaviour or completely disable it for App Platform, since Cloudflare sometimes acts like a man-in-the-middle and modifies the sourcecode sent by the app, which means you can't really be sure that the client gets what you send from the app.

When I console into a service, I always get a console in the service-0 container. Often there is a high CPU alert coming from a different container, say service-8 . I would like to pick a specific container for my console, so I can inspect the container and identify the problem.
