DigitalOcean has introduced the App Platform, a fully managed PaaS offering that simplifies building, deploying, and scaling applications. The platform runs on DigitalOcean Kubernetes and supports popular languages and frameworks. A new feature called "Bring Your Own Container Image" (BYOCI) allows users to deploy pre-built container images with App Platform, further reducing the barrier of entry for various use cases. Integration with DigitalOcean Container Registry (DOCR) enables secure storage and management of private container images.
