Deploy your Netlify app to DigitalOcean
Step-by-step deployment help for Netlify apps on DigitalOcean. We fix Netlify-specific deployment issues, configure DigitalOcean, and get your app live. From $19.
Netlify issues we fix before deploying
Common Netlify problems that affect DigitalOcean deployments.
Missing redirect rules for SPAs
Single-page apps without a _redirects file or netlify.toml rewrite rules, causing 404 errors when users navigate directly to routes.
Environment variable misconfiguration
Build-time vs runtime environment variable confusion, or sensitive keys set in the wrong context (deploy previews, branch deploys).
Serverless function cold starts
Netlify Functions with large dependencies or no connection pooling, causing timeout errors on the first invocation after idle periods.
Missing build optimization
No caching configured for node_modules or build artifacts, causing unnecessarily long build times and deployment delays.
DigitalOcean deployment issues we check for
Common DigitalOcean problems that break Netlify 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 Netlify app to DigitalOcean?
We handle Netlify deployments to DigitalOcean end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your Netlify project, then we configure DigitalOcean, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What Netlify issues affect DigitalOcean deployments?
Netlify projects commonly have missing redirect rules for spas and environment variable misconfiguration. 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 Netlify project to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We specialize in deploying Netlify applications to DigitalOcean. We audit your codebase for Netlify-specific issues, configure DigitalOcean correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does Netlify deployment to DigitalOcean cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all DigitalOcean deployment blockers in your Netlify project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
