The way forward is Open
Open source software is freely available to use, lovingly made by people all over the world, and at the heart of DigitalOcean's business.
DigitalOcean: Powered by Open Source
In addition to open source powering many of our own libraries and frameworks, open source projects and the open source community embody values that we believe in and advocate for—innovation, collaboration, and optimism.
Why Open Source
Open source enables our business, and developers everywhere, to innovate and iterate quickly, which improves our products and helps our customers and community grow their big ideas more effectively.
Projects we use
DigitalOcean relies on open source technologies to do what we do. From our website that's built with Next.js to our core products, DigitalOcean proudly uses open source technologies like those below to run our business.
Projects we maintain
We contribute to open source projects and we create them. Some of our projects are aimed at improving the developer experience of using DigitalOcean. We also create useful projects for developers of all platforms, not just DigitalOcean.
