Built with Copilot Workspace? Deploy it to DigitalOcean.
Step-by-step deployment help for Copilot Workspace-built apps on DigitalOcean. We fix deployment issues, configure DigitalOcean correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Copilot Workspace issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Copilot Workspace's code generation that affect DigitalOcean deployments.
Cross-file changes introduce inconsistencies between implementation and interface definitions
When Copilot Workspace makes changes across multiple files, it can update an implementation without updating a shared interface or type definition, or update a type without updating all the call sites that depend on it, leaving the codebase in an inconsistent state.
Generated PRs are difficult to review as a coherent unit of change
Multi-file changes from Copilot Workspace often interleave meaningful changes with formatting or whitespace changes, and the PR diff can be large enough that reviewers approve without fully understanding the coordinated logic across files.
Security-sensitive changes made without flagging for mandatory human review
Copilot Workspace may modify authentication middleware, authorization logic, or input validation as part of a broader feature change without flagging these security-sensitive files for extra review, letting them through the same review process as non-sensitive changes.
Tests not updated when implementation changes break existing test assumptions
When Workspace modifies application logic, it may not update tests that were written against the old behavior — causing tests to fail or, worse, silently passing with incorrect expectations after the PR is merged.
DigitalOcean deployment issues we check for
Common DigitalOcean problems that break AI-generated 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
Can you deploy a Copilot Workspace-built app to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We regularly deploy Copilot Workspace-generated projects to DigitalOcean. We handle the platform-specific configuration, fix deployment errors, and ensure your app runs reliably in production on DigitalOcean.
What DigitalOcean issues do Copilot Workspace projects typically have?
Copilot Workspace projects commonly have cross-file changes introduce inconsistencies between implementation and interface definitions and generated prs are difficult to review as a coherent unit of change. When deploying to DigitalOcean, these combine with platform-specific issues like app platform buildpack fails to detect framework and managed database connection pool exhaustion.
How do I get my Copilot Workspace project live on DigitalOcean?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Copilot Workspace-built projects targeting DigitalOcean, the typical path is: fix Copilot Workspace-specific code issues, configure DigitalOcean settings correctly, then deploy. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
Can you handle the full deployment of my Copilot Workspace app to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Copilot Workspace codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring DigitalOcean correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
