Build, Deploy, and Scale Your First Web App Using DigitalOcean App Platform

[@alex_chugaev]

App platform is great product. Switched from AWS and very happy

[@Anything2bCool]

So it can handle horizontal scaling by creating extra nodes for running your code...but can it automate horizontal database scaling? i.e. Replicating the contents of a master db across slave dbs so many users can hit the db?

[@christianangelomsulit3759]

No nodejs rest api using typescript? can't find any documentation.

[@AmirulAbu1]

use dockerfile

Does app platform work with any other git platforms?

[@berthojoris]

Hi...I wanna ask.. Why does it take 4-5 minutes for this service to deploy (pull code) from Github every time? Does it take that long to pull the code? I see every time the code is loaded, the server always does a "composer install". Are you experiencing the same thing? Thanks

[@appstuff6565]

thanks for this!

[@arefaslani]

That was cool 🙂 Like it 👍

[@martinschweizer2681]

Excellent - thanks!

[@khadijaab9184]

I added Domain name to my app, It's been 5 hours and my custom domain still running with status "Configuring". Is that normal?

[@tash-jq]

Did you find a fix for this ?

[@DigitalOcean]

Hi Khadija! Can you please open a support ticket so that we can address this for you? Thank you so much!

[@info.vishalgohil]

@@DigitalOcean I'm also facing same issue, My domain is in Godaddy, so in Godaddy I'm adding the CNAME: prnt.sc/1dy20wp

Hi, how can i host a Nest JS app in app platform?

[@martinmtandi335]

I am looking to do the same thing, how did you eventually do it?

[@SiyaMedia]

Does app platform work with Streamlit?

[@DigitalOcean]

Hey Siya! Yes it should work. You can refer to this page for more information docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/build-system/cloud-native-buildpacks/python/. If you run into any issues, we recommend you post in the community Q&A here www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/new?tags=Digitalocean%20App%20Platform

[@vladimirgorea8714]

Does it support Django as well?

[@tazeenhashmat8932]

Hello Kamal Nassar.

[@christianangelomsulit3759]

very bad build process super slow! it can take up hours of deploying new changes and sometimes failed

[@creative-commons-videos]

is this platform scalable like Kubernetes ?

[@DigitalOcean]

Yes, it actually runs on top of Kubernetes but it’s much easier to manage and scale!

[@nathanmwamba8840]

hey how can I return a view in my laravel project after I have uploaded the image?

[@DigitalOcean]

Hey Nathan! I'd suggest watching some of our Laravel videos, as this specific demo does not cover that. Also, you can check out the Laravel docs for views laravel.com/docs/8.x/views

[@UrzaRage778]

Is it possible to have a Blazor application (server-side or Web Aseembly) run on this platform?

[@DigitalOcean]

Hi Kevin! Yes, you can deploy Blazor or WASM applications on App Platform! You will need to include a Dockerfile with the build instructions in your repo as they are not natively supported using Buildpacks. See the documentation on the Build System for more details: docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/build-system/

[@matarloum2894]

Seems too good to be true..

[@phillipbooth7879]

App Spec for CORS please

[@tochimclaren]

Nice concept, check the demo app. No Django.

[@faizsyed658]

Are you planning to add support for java apps

[@DigitalOcean]

Hi Faiz! Native support for Java apps is planned but in the mean time you can use a Dockerfile to deploy Java apps.

[@dorgaroto]

nice.
