Deploy your MySQL app to DigitalOcean
Step-by-step deployment help for MySQL apps on DigitalOcean. We fix MySQL-specific deployment issues, configure DigitalOcean, and get your app live. From $19.
MySQL issues we fix before deploying
Common MySQL problems that affect DigitalOcean deployments.
SQL injection vulnerabilities
String concatenation used to build queries instead of parameterized statements, allowing attackers to read, modify, or delete data.
Missing database indexes
Tables without indexes on columns used in WHERE, JOIN, and ORDER BY clauses, causing full table scans as data grows.
No connection pooling
Opening a new database connection per request instead of using a connection pool, exhausting MySQL's max_connections limit under load.
Credentials in source code
Database host, username, and password hardcoded in application files or committed to version control.
DigitalOcean deployment issues we check for
Common DigitalOcean problems that break MySQL 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.
