Summary

In 2019, DigitalOcean launched the Marketplace to provide builders with easy installation and management of software packages on Droplets and Kubernetes clusters. The platform now offers Add-Ons, which are SaaS solutions that run in the cloud and can be accessed on demand. These Add-Ons benefit developers by quickly adding new capabilities to their projects without requiring them to install or manage software. They also simplify account management, provide transparent pricing, and ensure provider-managed security and maintenance. Some popular Add-Ons include Plesk's 360 Monitoring, Better Stack's Logtail and Better Uptime, SnapShooter for backups, Helpy Pro for ticketing and customer support, SolarWinds Papertrail for log management, WayScript for automation and DevOps, MemCachier for performance optimization, Bit.io for data management, Cloudanix for security, and SOOS for software security. DigitalOcean encourages vendors to submit their Add-Ons to the Marketplace to reach a wider audience of passionate builders across the world.
