Documentation

It should be documented that variable names, such when you do ${my-db.DATABASE_URL} are truncated to 32 chars., i.e. if your db name is too long, you have to use the first 32 chars as the variable name.

The documentation states ANSI as being included in the default sql modes "The default SQL modes for MySQL on managed databases are as follows:". However, as of now on new MySQL 8 managed DB deployments, ANSI_QUOTES is the mode which is set, and not the ANSI shorthand mode. Also, some explanation as to why this mode is the default on DO managed databases when it's not one of the default MySQL 8 SQL modes would be appreciated. https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/mysql/how-to/set-sql-mode/

I’m deploying a small web-tool that lets users input ID numbers and check public assistance status (similar to a “data lookup” service). I plan to host on DigitalOcean App Platform or a standard droplet + Nginx + Gunicorn. Key concerns: How to manage access security (rate-limiting, IP blocking) Encryption of user queries & responses in transit & at rest Keeping it lightweight and low-cost as usage grows Best way to enable automated backups and scaling if traffic spikes Any architecture examples or “gotchas” people have seen? https://cekbansosonline.com/

Page: https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/getting-started/quickstart/ The Create an App section has some formatting errors for bullet 4: bullet 4 is weirdly aligned the 'click next' text is rendered as code rather than just text

Your "Ask Docs" AI got things way wrong. Please review and consider fixing where needed so the next poor person doesn't go down this incorrect rabbit hole. See attached.

After spending way too many hours troubleshooting a "simple" PeerTube installation, I decided to document everything for the community. What started as following the official docs turned into a 3-hour debugging session with Node.js compatibility issues, database authentication failures, and missing dependencies.

Ability to Bookmark Tutorials. I don't want to keep a track of comments and updates. But at times I just want to go back to the tutorial I read last week quickly. Yes I can use Browser bookmarks but it would be better if Digitalocean alows us to keep a list of tutorials to refer to again.

Hi, i had recently had a problem with turning custom image to droplet. The droplet did not boot because the image was in UEFI and Grub is not installed. But digital ocean custom image doc never mention that the image must be SeaBIOS compatible. Maybe mentioning that might help some developer know that the image must support legacy booting.

Please don't use the term "SSL"; it was deprecated about 25 years ago. Using it still makes it seem like you either don't know what you're talking about or have very outdated infrastructure.
