Summary

The DigitalOcean community has reached its one millionth Droplet milestone, marking a significant achievement in the company's history. The winner of their #MillionthDroplet contest is Christian Pekeler, founder of Kindermatik, who will receive $10,000 in hosting credit. Christian's SaaS product DailyChildcareReport.com uses Ruby on Rails with extensive Javascript usage and aims to utilize Meteor as its next framework. Born in Glückstadt, Germany, a city known as Lucky Town, Christian grew up there before becoming the community's millionth Droplet user. To celebrate this milestone, DigitalOcean is giving away $10,000 in hosting credit to the winner, who must be the first user to spin up the millionth Droplet and include their Twitter handle in the hostname, tweeting with the hashtag #MillionthDroplet.
