Deploy your AWS app to DigitalOcean
Step-by-step deployment help for AWS apps on DigitalOcean. We fix AWS-specific deployment issues, configure DigitalOcean, and get your app live. From $19.
AWS issues we fix before deploying
Common AWS problems that affect DigitalOcean deployments.
Overly permissive IAM policies
AI-generated IAM policies using Action: '*' and Resource: '*' — granting full access to every AWS service. This is the cloud equivalent of leaving all your doors unlocked.
Public S3 buckets
S3 buckets configured with public access for convenience during development. User uploads, database backups, and configuration files become accessible to anyone on the internet.
Unencrypted data at rest
Databases (RDS, DynamoDB), S3 buckets, and EBS volumes without encryption enabled. If a backup is exposed, all your data is readable.
Security groups wide open
EC2 security groups allowing inbound traffic from 0.0.0.0/0 on all ports instead of restricting to specific ports and IP ranges.
DigitalOcean deployment issues we check for
Common DigitalOcean problems that break AWS apps in production.
App Platform buildpack fails to detect framework
AI-generated project structures with non-standard entry points or missing start scripts cause DigitalOcean's buildpack to fail during auto-detection.
Managed database connection pool exhaustion
AI tools create a new database connection per request instead of using a connection pool, exhausting DigitalOcean's managed database connection limits quickly.
Droplet firewall not configured
Freshly provisioned Droplets have all ports open by default. AI deployment scripts skip firewall configuration, exposing SSH, database, and admin ports publicly.
Spaces CDN CORS not configured
DigitalOcean Spaces requires explicit CORS headers for browser-based uploads. AI-generated frontend code fails silently when uploading files directly to Spaces.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a AWS app to DigitalOcean?
We handle AWS deployments to DigitalOcean end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your AWS project, then we configure DigitalOcean, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What AWS issues affect DigitalOcean deployments?
AWS projects commonly have overly permissive iam policies and public s3 buckets. On DigitalOcean, these combine with app platform buildpack fails to detect framework and managed database connection pool exhaustion to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my AWS project to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We specialize in deploying AWS applications to DigitalOcean. We audit your codebase for AWS-specific issues, configure DigitalOcean correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does AWS deployment to DigitalOcean cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all DigitalOcean deployment blockers in your AWS project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
