Memory-Optimized Droplets are now available in Limited Availability in DigitalOcean's NYC3 and AMS3 data centers, offering a new virtual machine instance type with memory and dedicated compute in a ratio of 8GB:1vCPU. This new droplet type is designed to address the issue of running out of RAM, which can cause applications to slow down or crash due to Out of Memory errors. The droplets are tightly integrated into DigitalOcean's platform and offer features such as blazing-fast SSD storage, optional backups and snapshots, monitoring and alerts, network firewalls, and more. Pricing for virtual machines with 2vCPUs, 16GB of RAM, 50 GB SSD, and 4TB transfer is $84 per month, scaling from there based on compute, memory, storage, and bandwidth requirements.
