I have had a great experience with Managed Databases and would like to know if Digital Ocean will be offering Managed Email services in the near future.I have read the Digital Ocean guide that essentially discourages you from creating and attempting to manage an email server, which is not easy task.I alone would switch 12 domains over almost imediately after it was available.This is the only thing that I still use my shared hosting for; custom domain email address.This could bring a lot of new users to the site which is a win for everyone.Thank you for taking the time to read.

Allow K-values above 10, preferably up to 20 or 25 for digital Ocean Agents.

We should have the possibility to also downgrade droplets, not just upgrade. Sometimes we need a lot of power for some operations, but then we don't for some time, or maybe not at all anymore, so it would be nice to be able to downgrade a droplet, not just to upgrade it. The current solution is to create a new one with a smaller plan, but this means configuring, installing and doing all that stuff which takes time and is not portable.

Your monitoring (uptime alerts) only supports email alerts - which are very limited in their usefulness. (who monitors email 24/7?) Would it be possible to add SMS and/or whatsapp alerts to the options?

The new version history and rollback feature for Agents is great. It could be improved by allowing users to name versions or otherwise tag them somehow.

The social link footer still leads with a link to twitter/X. Consider replacing that with links BlueSky, Threads, or both for a more up-to-date, apolitical look.

Of course, I can understand why DO would choose to make blocking these ports a policy, but just silently doing it one random day without notifying droplet owners is really bad form. I found out the hard way, by missing important notifications from my website and then going down the rabbit hole of why outbound SMTP connections were timing out, etc. DO, if you are going to make network policy changes, notify your customers in advance.

It would be great if it could support Turkish nodes
