it seems odd/poor design that DigitalOcean decided to use a secret value for the docker login username for use-cases where using doctl is impossible or not preferred. Other software systems that integrate with docker are generally correct to assume that the username is not sensitive information, and DigitalOcean's approach here breaks that assumption. I've personally encountered a problem using a GoCD plugin that integrates with Docker which requires you to supply the private registry credentials, and because it correctly assumes that the username is not sensitive, the DigitalOcean API token ends up being shown in plaintext in the UI, because it has to be used as both username and password. DigitalOcean should really consider implementing another non-doctl-dependent method of authenticating with their container registry that does not pose the risk of leaking plaintext credentials.

add autoscaling to app platform

Please create south Africa data center there are lots of people who are willing to pay for it

The API is a delight to work with. Perhaps too delightful, as the rate limits make it cumbersome to use in production. My suggestion: offer the ability for accounts to have unlimited API access so that one can deploy to wide production an app that uses the API for anything beyond trivial use cases. Given how flexible the rest of the platform is, it is a shame that developers have to design around the API as if processing API requests is an expensive operation. Adding this capability would bring DO more in line with other public clouds.

Please add typescript in function It's really helpful for person whom used typescript programing because nodejs it's to messy

PLEASE ALLOW US TO BUY DOMAINS ON DIGITAL OCEAN. That would solve so many issues. DO is a great platform, but the fact that we can't buy domains for our clients on here is hurting us because we have to use another platform for it.

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.

Hi, It would be great if there was an option to pick Ubuntu Pro droplet image for an extra cost

This is less of an idea, but feedback: The student pack is such a great product for research that allows for exploring this amazing compute platform. Especially when working with competitors, it's clear how much nicer your product is. I have recommended DigitalOcean to multiple founders and IT managers. It is the platform I will always prefer. I always come back to your service! Also keep up the great work with the documentation. Whatever I look for, I get the best answers from your site. This really brings the right people to the right site! Keep up the good work and keep supporting students!
