Built with Create.xyz? Deploy it to DigitalOcean.
Step-by-step deployment help for Create.xyz-built apps on DigitalOcean. We fix deployment issues, configure DigitalOcean correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Create.xyz issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Create.xyz's code generation that affect DigitalOcean deployments.
No authentication — all generated apps are fully public with no user accounts
Create.xyz generates functional applications without any authentication system. Every page, API endpoint, and data resource is accessible to anyone with the URL, making it unsuitable for any application that handles user-specific or private data.
Hardcoded data and mock API responses replace real database or API integration
Generated applications use static JavaScript arrays or hardcoded JSON as data sources. There is no real database integration — data does not persist between sessions, is visible in source code, and resets on every page reload.
No input validation or sanitization on generated form and API handlers
Form submissions and API routes in Create.xyz-generated code process user input directly without validation, type checking, or sanitization, making them vulnerable to injection attacks and malformed data that breaks the application.
Error handling is absent — unhandled exceptions produce blank screens or cryptic errors
Generated application code lacks try/catch blocks, error boundary components, and meaningful error messages. When an API call fails or unexpected input arrives, the application either crashes silently or shows a raw JavaScript error to the user.
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 Create.xyz-built app to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We regularly deploy Create.xyz-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 Create.xyz projects typically have?
Create.xyz projects commonly have no authentication — all generated apps are fully public with no user accounts and hardcoded data and mock api responses replace real database or api integration. 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 Create.xyz project live on DigitalOcean?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Create.xyz-built projects targeting DigitalOcean, the typical path is: fix Create.xyz-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 Create.xyz app to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Create.xyz codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring DigitalOcean correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
